From Severe Storms to Snow: Wild Weather in the Ozarks

We’re in for a wild next 24 hours of weather in the Ozarks.

The National Weather Service says there’s a marginal severe storm risk for much of southwest Missouri on Tuesday.

A Wind Advisory is in effect from Tuesday night into Wednesday, with gusts of 40 to 55 miles per hour.

Rain will turn to snow as we had into the overnight hours Tuesday night, with a dusting to 1.5 inches of snow accumulation on elevated and grassy surfaces.
