Special Weather Statement issued January 17 at 12:20AM CST by NWS Springfield MO

Effective: Sat January 17, 2026, 12:20 AM
Expires: Sat January 17, 2026, 2:00 AM

Doppler radar continues to track a quick moving band of snow moving into the Truman Lake area. Some areas will see visibilities drop to less than 1 mile for periods of 15 to 20 minutes, with wind gusts above 30 MPH. While actual snowfall accumulations will be less than one inch, melting and re- freezing of snow on roads could cause slick road conditions. While the snow will not last long, some roads may see several slick spots. Please use caution while driving overnight along and north of the Highway 54 corridor.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
