FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: Wintry mix could make for slick roads late Sunday and early Monday 

The KQ2 Stormtracker Weather Team is tracking mixed winter precipitation across Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas Sunday afternoon and into the overnight hours. Light snow, sleet, and freezing rain accumulations could lead to slick roadways and hazardous travel conditions in parts of the area through Monday morning. 

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for much of the region from 3 PM Sunday through 9 AM Monday where up to 1 inch of snow accumulation and a light glaze of ice is possible. Areas north of Highway 36 have the best chance of seeing minor snow accumulations, mainly on grassy and elevated surfaces. Patches of freezing rain and drizzle are the greatest concern when it comes to the potential for hazardous travel conditions. 

Warmer air aloft will determine the type of precipitation and location of greatest impacts. Temperature changes of only a few degrees will dictate whether roads are wet or icy going into Sunday evening and early Monday morning. Stay tuned for updates as this event unfolds.
