KANSAS CITY, Mo. — While just a light dusting of snow remains possible for the majority of the Kansas City area, many are coming out of their homes and braving the cold.
This means that while roads were mainly empty for driving to work, driving home will be busier and potentially more dangerous.
The KSHB 41 Weather team forecasts the temperature will drop into the low teens by Wednesday night starting around 4 p.m.
Between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., it will drop from around 20 degrees to 17 degrees.
And as the temperatures surge into the bitter cold, the possibility of roads refreezing increases.
Many highways appear to be clear, but that is not to say slick spots are impossible.
Exercising caution will be key to remaining safe while assisting road crews by keeping routes clear.
