Kansas City, Missouri – Light snow is expected to move into the Kansas City region late tonight and continue into Sunday morning, with minor accumulations possible in parts of the area.
According to the National Weather Service in Kansas City, a dusting of snow is possible, with the greatest chances north of U.S. Highway 36. Forecast probabilities show higher odds for light snowfall amounts in northern Missouri, while areas farther south are expected to see little to no accumulation.
Snowfall chances for more than one-tenth of an inch increase north of Highway 36 overnight into Sunday morning, while the probability of more than half an inch remains low across most of the region. Any snow that does fall is expected to be light and short-lived.
While widespread travel disruptions are not anticipated, slick spots could develop on bridges and overpasses, particularly during the early morning hours when pavement temperatures are coldest. Motorists traveling along Interstate 70, Interstate 35, Interstate 435, and U.S. Highway 36 should remain alert for brief reductions in visibility and localized slick conditions.
This light snow follows a bitterly cold start to the weekend, with temperatures remaining below seasonal averages. Overnight lows will help support snowflakes reaching the ground, especially in northern counties, before conditions gradually improve later Sunday morning.
The potential for light snow may be relevant for early-morning commuters, weekend travelers, and overnight workers, especially those driving longer distances or traveling north of the Kansas City metro area.
Forecasters emphasize that this is not expected to be a significant snow event, but even minor accumulations can create hazards when combined with cold road surfaces.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service as snow chances develop overnight and into Sunday morning.
