A winter storm with heavy snowfall is expected to impact portions of northeast Kansas into northern Missouri on Monday. The highest snowfall totals will be north of a line from St Joseph to Kirksville, where snow totals in excess of 6 inches will be possible. South of that line, there will be a sharp cut off in snow totals as rain is primarily expected.

Bates County is expected to only receive copious amounts of rain, but freezing conditions can make travel hazardous, and travel north will be ill advised until snowplows have a chance to clear the roads.
