If you thought the worst part of winter was over, you may want to brace yourself as arctic air is about to blast Missouri soon and it may bring big snow with it.
As a winter storm system began moving across Missouri early Wednesday morning, one traffic cam captured a rather shocking moment when thunder snow happened in Joplin.
We now have a better idea of what the incoming winter storms will do to Missouri this week and it's not good news for those who don't enjoy spending time with their snow shovels as parts of the state will see a dump of up to 10 inches of snow by midweek.
It's too early to tell for certain, but you should be aware that current computer models show that Missouri could get hit hard by a pre-Valentine's Day snow event.
It feels unusual to see a storm system consisting of thunderstorm with no snow setting its sights on Missouri at the end of January, but that is exactly the scenario that's developing as we get ready to wrap up the first month of the year.
It's too early to know for sure, but it would be a good idea to watch out for a possible major snow event in Missouri impacting right as February begins.
