Meteorologist Pam Murray says the greater event will happen overnight through tomorrow morning.
“Higher snowfall amounts will remain across northern Missouri. We’re generally looking at 4 to 6 inches across that area with locally higher amounts. Generally along and south of I-70 you’ll be looking at anywhere from 2 to 4 inches.”
Murray says there could also be some ice accumulation overnight.
“We’re seeing areas of freezing rain and drizzle develop across southeast Kansas and portions of southeast Missouri and we’re expecting that to move north, looking at maybe a tenth- to a quarter-inch of ice across south and central Missouri.”
