The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory, including the Sedalia area for today and tonight.
A news release from the city says, with temperatures anticipated to drop rapidly, the potential exists for freezing rain between 2 and 5 p.m., and for patchy blowing snow after 5 p.m.
Should the weather result in accumulations of ice or snow, the city will activate Emergency Snow Routes to allow the designated roadways to be easily cleared for emergency and other vehicles. If that happens, parking is prohibited along Emergency Snow Routes as street-department plows need access to clear and open the roadways.
A map is available on the City’s website that details which city streets are designated Emergency Snow Routes, as well as those designated by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) at
