Special Weather Statement issued January 16 at 10:00AM CST by NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO

Effective: Fri January 16, 2026, 10:00 AM
Expires: Fri January 16, 2026, 7:00 PM

Areas of heavy snow showers or more intense snow squalls will spread from northwest to southeast across the region, mainly between 2 PM and 8 PM. Heavy snow showers will reduce visibility to under one mile and will be accompanied by wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph. If you encounter a snow squall, follow these tips to stay safe: Reduce speed and turn on headlights! During snow squalls, the visibility may suddenly drop to near zero in whiteout conditions. Consider avoiding or delaying travel until the snow squall passes your location. If you must travel, use extra caution and allow extra time. Rapid changes in visibility and slick road conditions may lead to accidents. If traveling on a highway, find the nearest exit or rest area and park safely away from traffic. Allow snow squalls to pass before attempting to resume travel.

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.
