The biggest change in the recent forecast is the elimination of any freezing rain and sleet in the KC Metro area. We should get all snow starting about midnight Thursday night and lasting at least the first half of Christmas Eve. I've also introduced a good chance for lingering flurries through Christmas Day.
This storm has slowed down and appears to be on a southerly track towards southern Missouri and is still 36 hours away and I wouldn't rule out track changes
Snowfall amounts. Generally anywhere from a dusting to 3" with higher amounts to our south.
Paola through Harrisionville: 3"
Olathe through Lee's Summit: 2-3"
Lawrence through Downtown KC: 1-2"
Atcheson, KCI, Liberty. 1-2" {with Liberty being on the 2" side)
Areas east of the Kansas mentioned cities---dusting.
Areas west of the Missouri listed cities--- higher amounts.
The average expected snow within the I-435 loop is 1.5"
