A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect across portions of north central and northeast Missouri as a stretch of unsettled weather brings a wintry mix before transitioning to steadier rain. Periods of rain and snow, along with patchy freezing drizzle, may lead to slick and slippery road conditions, with snow accumulations expected to stay around 1 inch or less and only a light glaze of ice possible in spots.

Why it matters

The wintry weather could impact travel conditions in the affected areas, so residents and motorists should plan accordingly and use caution on the roads. The transition to rain and potential thunderstorms later in the forecast period could also bring additional challenges.
