Freezing drizzle, rain, and snow possible this weekend
FRIDAY: A cold front will move through during the afternoon, dropping temperatures from north to south. Before the cold air arrives, temperatures will reach near 40 north of I-70 and into the lower 50s at the Lake of the Ozarks. South winds will shift to the north by evening as temperatures fall below freezing. Patchy freezing drizzle is possible after 9 PM.
FRIDAY: Freezing drizzle looks to increasing overnight as temperatures drop towards 20 under mostly cloudy skies. Winds out of the northwest from 10-14 mph will drop wind chills below 10 by Saturday morning. We could start to see a glaze of ice on the roadways by this time.
EXTENDED: Freezing drizzle will continue Saturday south of I-70, with light snow developing north of I-70. Snow will increase Saturday late-afternoon, mixing with freezing rain south of I-70, turning to all snow through the night. Freezing rain in the Ozarks will gradually change to snow Saturday night, ending Sunday morning. Ice accumulation will range from a glaze of ice near I-70 to a tenth near I-44. Moderate snow is possible north of HWY 24 where accumulation will be highest but farther south, light amounts are expected with some areas only receiving a trace of snow. Sunday will remain cold but dry by the afternoon. Highs will be limited in the 20s all weekend long. Temperatures will rise back above freezing by early next week.
