Storm Alert

A storm is expected to cross the Ozarks tonight, passing very close to I-44. As the storm moves away, cold air on the backside will bring snowfall into the region on Tuesday. Temperatures will hover in the mid-30s tonight and begin to fall on Tuesday afternoon due to strong northwest winds. Accumulations of snow should be an inch or less in most areas, with the potential for up to four inches in the far northern counties. Wind gusts on Tuesday could reach 30-40 mph.

Upcoming Weather Outlook

Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be pleasant days, with high temperatures jumping back to the mid-40s on Wednesday and approaching 50 degrees on Thursday. However, another storm is forecasted to arrive on Friday, similar to the current event. Rainfall will occur initially, followed by a changeover to snow as cold air moves in. Significantly colder air will follow this storm, potentially leading to flash freezing on roadways. Stay alert for any hazardous conditions.
