Residents in Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas should prepare for heavy snowfall with a Winter Storm Warning in effect Tuesday evening and through the day Wednesday. 

The warning goes into effect at midnight and continues until 9 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12. Total snow accumulations of 5 to 8 inches are anticipated across the warning area, stretching from the Iowa border south to the Kansas City metro, encompassing the entire Highway 36 corridor. 

Travel conditions will be difficult through the warning period due to snow-covered roadways and reduced visibility. Wednesday's morning and evening commutes likely will be impacted by the hazardous conditions. Consider avoiding travel on Wednesday if possible. Those who must drive should do so with caution and have extra supplies on hand, including an ice scraper, a full tank of gas, a medical kit and an emergency blanket.
