Springfield, MO – Travelers along U.S. Route 65 in Missouri should prepare for potential snow Saturday, with a narrow band expected to bring light accumulations across central parts of the state. The National Weather Service reports a 50-75% chance of snow beginning Saturday morning and continuing into the afternoon.
While snowfall amounts are expected to be minimal, even light snow could create slick conditions on roadways, especially in areas north of Springfield.
