KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City area was placed under a winter weather advisory Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory just after 5 a.m. to go into effect immediately and lasting until noon.
Morning mist and drizzle are likely to become freezing drizzle due to the drop in temperature.
Freezing could cause a light glaze on roads, especially bridges and overpasses. Sidewalks could also be hazardous.
Drivers should use caution on the morning commute.
We are under a winter advisory. Currently driving throughout Independence and my side mirrors are covered in ice. This means it’s cold enough for water to freeze on our roadways. @KSHB41 pic.twitter.com/sKw5Em9mJN
