A thin layer of snow is expected to create hazardous travel conditions across the central Midwest Saturday morning. Freezing drizzle is expected early in the day, which will impact roads and sidewalks, according to the National Weather Service.
Even light snow accumulations can make untreated surfaces dangerously slick, especially in areas south of Highway 24 in Kansas, where slightly heavier snow is possible. Freezing drizzle may continue through the afternoon and change to light snow later in the day.
Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution, as icy surfaces can cause accidents and falls. Local officials recommend delaying travel until the situation improves. Residents should also prepare for possible disruptions to their weekend plans.
