Yes it does. Could be a surprise tonight. 

Looking at the current radar returns in central Missouri, the trough is definitely not completely void moisture. From the Kansas City NWS forecast discussion this morning: 

National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
500 AM CST Mon Jan 20 2020

.Discussion...
Issued at 336 AM CST MON JAN 20 2020

Interesting weather set up for Monday, which begins with a surface
high centered roughly over the eastern Dakotas. With the center of
the ridge situated well off to the north, cold air will continue to
filter into the region for the next day or so. This would normally
keep the weather pretty fair, but currently over central Minnesota a
shortwave trough is currently diving southward into Iowa and
eventually will move over the forecast area. Now, moisture within
the column will be difficult to find, but this trough may provide
just enough lift and the air mass may just be cool enough to
condense the limited moisture into precipitation in the late morning
to late afternoon hours. 

Maybe we can pick up a little something tonight into tomorrow morning with the frigid air in place. I'm grateful for whatever we can get this Winter.

Hey guys, its been awhile since I have been on here, but I am from Alabama and will be making a trip with the family to the mountains in Gatlinburg in hopes of some nice snow from the weekend system. Our cabin is 2900 feet up off ski mountain road and we will be arriving early Saturday morning and driving back on Monday.

We did this a couple years ago and Carvers Gap and a few of you other folks that are used to dealing with events in the mountains were a big help. I look forward to tracking this weekends storm and hope we can score on a nice NW flow event.

HRRR with some nice upslope for the SW mountains early tomorrow morning. I am thinking Highlands could see 2-3” from this. This flow could also bring a dusting to an inch to the Asheville area tonight.

Hopefully we can squeeze out some moisture!

Well, today has been a great winter day.  Had a high today of 9.1° about an hour ago, and it has snowed all day.  I dont think the orientation of the flow tonight is going to do much for me, but I already picked up just over 1.75".  I am not complaining.  

 

Hope you folks down around the highlands get something this evening.

Went up to the AT on Big Bald after work. Easily over 2" up there with huge flakes flying. It's been snowing for 24 hours now and still going. 35200611d1480749f721dca7292ecffb.jpg&key=11207e56f14dd84c8cdf5ab1ebae58a2ac644d1c3feb0d0d401a5ed0e25cec7f1371a8e738bd170db9d1ce840cf0994e.jpg&key=b5e4e0b8da5bf3cc904c7e7e885f314cdf90a268c693d325508db1471b0c6320

Beautiful pics, Buckethead.  Thanks for sharing.  I'm quite jealous.

Saw a few flurries today at the intersection of I-40 and I-26, but that's the extent of my my winter weather observations so far for this winter.

Always nice to see some flurries at the epicenter of malfunction junction.
