Wintry Conditions Expected this weekend

It's a triple threat weekend! Threat #1 will be the chance for freezing drizzle/light freezing rain which will begin as early as 6AM tomorrow and will initially be patchy before becoming more widespread by mid-morning. Temperatures will move above freezing south of Highway 36 changing freezing drizzle to (liquid) drizzle however, north of Highway 36 temperatures will remain below freezing most of Friday into Friday night which will allow for more ice accumulation. 

Threat #2 will be the snow on Saturday. Morning freezing drizzle on Saturday will change over to snow and light snow accumulation will occur from late morning into Saturday evening. The greatest accumulation will be 1.0" - 1.5" right across the middle of the forecast area including the KC Metro. 

Threat #3 will be the brutal wind chills overnight Saturday night into Sunday. The coldest wind chills will be felt late Saturday night into Sunday morning where wind chills will drop to 20 to 30 degrees below zero across northern Missouri and between 10 to 20 degrees below zero elsewhere across the area. 

The highest the wind chills will get on Sunday will range from 5 above to 5 below zero in the afternoon with high temperatures in the upper single digits to mid teens. Please be careful out there this weekend!
