A second round of wintry weather is on its way to our area Thursday night, this time from the south.

Winter weather advisories will go into effect Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 at 5 p.m. for Benton, Cooper, Howard, Johnson, Lafayette, Morgan, Pettis, Randolph, and Saline counties, as well as points south, as the National Weather Service is calling for up to three inches of more snow in some areas. Lead forecaster Chris Bowman with the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill comments on the unusual path this storm is taking.

Bowman adds that after tonight’s system comes through, we should enjoy a reprieve from the freezing conditions.

In the meantime, Bowman reminds drivers to give yourself extra time to reach your destination and leave additional space between vehicles.
