Kansas City, MO – A winter weather system will bring rain, freezing drizzle, and snow to Missouri on Saturday, creating potential travel hazards. Northern Missouri could see ice accumulations up to 0.15 inches before transitioning to snow.

According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, light rain will move through the region Saturday morning before freezing drizzle develops in northern areas after 3 a.m. This will create slick road conditions, especially on bridges and overpasses.

By midday, rain will mix with snow as temperatures drop. Most areas will see less than an inch of snowfall. However, roads could remain icy as temperatures continue to fall into Saturday night.

Travelers should exercise caution, especially in northern Missouri, where freezing drizzle could create hazardous conditions before sunrise. The winter weather system is expected to clear by late Saturday evening, with colder air settling in overnight.

Residents should stay updated on forecasts and prepare for possible icy conditions. Warmer weather is unlikely to return soon, as temperatures will stay cold into next week.
