FOX4 Meteorologists in Kansas City are warning residents to take the snow totals generated by weather apps with a grain of salt. These apps rely on computer-generated data rather than human input, leading to inconsistent and often unreliable predictions. Unlike the dozens of models used by meteorologists, these apps struggle to accurately depict different precipitation types and can vary significantly in their forecasts.
Historically, Kansas City has rarely experienced snowfall exceeding a foot in the past 50 years, making the upcoming storm potentially the most impactful of the season. This could lead to power outages, school cancellations, and delays in clearing roads. The most accurate snowfall predictions are expected to be available by Friday.
For those planning to fly out of the area, moving flights to Saturday may be advisable to avoid potential disruptions caused by the storm. FOX4 is monitoring the situation closely and providing updates on weather alerts in the Kansas City region to keep residents informed.
