Drivers in northern and central Missouri are being advised to prepare for hazardous travel conditions as a winter weather advisory is in effect for the I-70 corridor. The National Weather Service is predicting 3-5 inches of snow today, with the heaviest snowfall expected near Columbia, Jefferson City, and St. Louis. Reduced visibility and slippery roadways are expected, particularly during afternoon travel, and drivers are urged to check Missouri Department of Transportation updates before heading out.
Road conditions are expected to worsen in areas with “moderate impacts,” as highlighted on the NWS travel map. Motorists are advised to reduce speed and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Sunday will bring a break from snow, but freezing temperatures overnight may cause untreated surfaces to refreeze, leading to challenges for Monday morning commuters.
Looking ahead, the week is expected to be mostly dry until late week rain or snow. Stay informed by checking MODOT’s travel map and following local weather updates. For more news stories and updates, follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
