6:50 pm update: National Weather Service cancels tornado watches for most of the Kansas City metro area. A watch remains in effect in Linn and Miami counties.
A storm system is developing over the Kansas City region that is more likely than not to produce tornadoes.
Forecasters are predicting 6 to 10 inches of heavyweight snow moving into the area on Saturday. The snow, beginning with rain or mixed precipitation, is likely to continue into Sunday.
It was a bad day to try to get around in Kansas City. KCI essentially closed at mid-morning with about 300 flights cancelled. Although flights are expected to resume later tonight, more cancellations are all but certain tomorrow morning. Driving was terrible, too.
