Interstate 70 Snowstorm Expected to Cause Travel Disruptions in Missouri on Saturday

The Interstate 70 corridor in Missouri is expected to see the first snow of the season on Saturday, impacting post-Thanksgiving travel. While most areas will only receive a light dusting of up to an inch, a narrow band of heavier snow could bring up to three inches, particularly over the I-70 corridor. Dry low-level air may delay the snowfall. AAA Missouri has shared winter driving tips, including turning on headlights, maintaining extra space between vehicles, and being cautious on bridges and infrequently traveled roads. The VERIFY team suggests looking and steering in the direction of a skid, avoiding cruise control on icy roads, carrying traction items in the car, maintaining properly inflated tires, and creating an emergency winter supply kit. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends including items like a snow shovel, flashlight, blankets, boots, snacks, first aid kit, and jumper cables in vehicles’ emergency kits. Travelers are advised to prepare for potentially hazardous driving conditions and take necessary precautions to ensure safety on the road.
