KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – We have major updates to the forecast as the latest data is suggesting impacts to the evening commute.
This afternoon brings a 40% chance for wintry mix to start, which then grows to a 60% chance during the evening commute. Quick bursts of snow are possible as we hit the roads to get home from work or out to evening plans. With briefly heavy snow showers and strong wind gusts to 40mph, visibility may rapidly deteriorate as many of us are hitting the roads for the evening commute.
When possible, try to delay your travel ever so slightly until snow chances decrease. If you do encounter lowered visibility or snow showers on the road, then slow down and try to pull over to a safe area as soon as you can. Isolated slick spots are possible where the heaviest snow bands set up.
After we clear this snow and wintry mix potential, temperatures begin to fall dramatically through the evening, so expect those in the 20s for any evening plans. That’ll lead us into Saturday morning, where we find bitter cold settling in…
