01:39 Update 15 Jan 2014 DEVELOPING SNOW HAS ALREADY WHITENED THE GROUND IN PARTS OF THE OZARKS...AND THIS SNOW WILL BE MOVING INTO AND ACROSS SOUTHEAST MISSOURI VERY EARLY THIS MORNING. THE BEST CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL OF ABOUT AN INCH WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH OF A GREENVILLE TO CAPE GIRARDEAU TO CARBONDALE LINE. RESIDENTS OF THESE 5 OR 6 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS COUNTIES MAY AWAKEN TO A SOFT WHITE COVER OF SNOWFALL ON THE GROUND...PERHAPS MEASURING AS MUCH AS AN INCH. THIS SAME SNOW WILL SPREAD EASTWARD BUT DWINDLE IN SCOPE AND INTENSITY AS IT DOES. STILL...A LIGHTLY WHITENED GROUND IS POSSIBLE AS IT TRACES ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND WESTERN KENTUCKY THROUGH THE MID MORNING HOURS. HALF INCH AMOUNTS OR LESS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED...THOUGH LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS ARE ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY. WITH MOST ROADWAYS TREATED ACROSS THE QUAD STATE REGION...THIS SHORT-LIVED LIGHT SNOW SHOULD HAVE LIMITED IMPACT FOR AREA TRAVELERS. STILL IT IS WISE TO MAKE ALLOWANCES FOR THE SNOW AND ADJUST YOUR TRAVEL PLANS ACCORDINGLY THIS MORNING. THE SNOW WILL MOVE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE AREA BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND ENOUGH MELTING WILL OCCUR TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE ANY SNOWFALL AMOUNTS BY THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING RUSH HOUR.
