A complex weather system is expected to spread snow and ice across much of Missouri beginning Sunday morning and continuing into Monday.
The Missouri Department of Transportation is recommending that people delay their Monday morning commute as the system has the potential to produce ice accumulations ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 inches in some areas.
Freezing rain and ice are predicted to move into the northwest portion of Missouri in the early morning hours and move across the state creating the potential for a dangerous morning rush hour.
Drivers traveling to the Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday will want to use extreme caution.
