... Winter Weather Advisory now in effect from 8 am this morning to 6 am CST Tuesday...
The Winter Weather Advisory for snow is now in effect from 8 am this morning to 6 am CST Tuesday.
* Timing: a cold rain will gradually mix with and changeover to snow west of a St. Joseph to Maryville line by mid-morning into the early afternoon. Periods of snow will be possible into the evening hours.
* Main impact: a heavy wet snow is expected to impact the Interstate 29 corridor... especially during the afternoon and early evening hours. Snowfall rates could locally exceed one inch per hour... resulting in significantly reduced visibilities and slushy to snow covered Road conditions. Accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are possible in the advisory area.
* Other impacts: warm roads may initially limit accumulation on Road surfaces but snowfall rates may be high enough to overwhelm those relatively warmer Road surfaces. Heavier snow amounts are more likely on elevated and grassy surfaces.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
