Rain will change over to snow across the Ozarks early Saturday morning, with accumulating snowfall expected in southwest Missouri.
The National Weather Service says around two inches of accumulation are possibe in the Springfield area, with two to three inches from Lebanon down to Ava and West Plains.
Less amounts of one to two inches are expected in the western Ozarks along the I-49 corridor.
Probablistic models have a roughly 65 to 75% chance of two inches or more snow occuring along and east of the Highway 63 corridor in the eastern Ozarks.
That probability drops to 45 to 50% for Springfield.
Freezing rain or sleet is not expected to be a factor as rain should quickly transition to snow.
