“The forecast is particularly tricky because it has been changing as we get closer to the storm,” said Becky Allmeroth, MoDOT chief safety and operations officer. “Most forecast models show the entire state being impacted by varying amounts of accumulation. Everyone should be prepared to drive in less-than-perfect road conditions for the next two days.”
Precipitation is expected to begin in the northwest part of the state Wednesday night into Thursday morning and move slowly to the southeast Thursday and Friday. MoDOT crews will begin around-the-clock operations as snow moves into the state and will continue until roads are in mostly clear condition. Please slow down and be cautious of road crews and emergency vehicles and give them room to work.
