Let's cross our fingers that we don't have to deal with much ice during the period of winter precipitation that will move through the area.

Winter weather will return to the area Thursday night into Friday morning with a mix of snow/freezing rain/sleet. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the area with hazardous conditions expected for the Friday commute, with sleet and freezing rain likely. All precipitation is expected to transition over to rain by the afternoon for those of us south of the MO River, but the wintry mix will remain over northern Missouri through sunset. Overall 1-3” of snowfall and a Glace to 0.25” of ice is possible with this storm. We recommend avoiding any travel Friday if possible. If you have to travel then please check road conditions and be careful as roads will likely be hazardous.
