More snow is headed for northwest Missouri late tonight and early tomorrow.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Pamela Pietrycha with the Pleasant Hill office says another quick moving system will impact the area tonight and into tomorrow morning.
"We are a little bit cooler then we have been the last several days," says Pietrycha. "Temperatures tonight will drop into the teens and upper twenties, so any leftover snow from the previous system that's still on the road. This will accumulate on top of it. Roads will still be relatively slick tomorrow morning."
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for most of the area from 9 p.m. tonight through 6 a.m. Wednesday. Pietrycha warns drivers to be mindful of slick roads during the morning commute. St. Joseph and the surrounding area could see around 1-3 inches of additional snow. Winter weather has already forced school closures yesterday and today.
Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop H has responded to 108 calls for service, 53 stranded motorists, 25 non-injury traffic crashes, one injury traffic accident, and there have not been any fatalities since the snow began yesterday.
