Weather forecasters at Accuweather predict that the snowstorm will be severe enough to cause travel difficulties in southern and central Missouri as well as portions of Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee starting Friday night and into Saturday.
Slippery roads are expected to cause tougher travel through the I-64 and I-70 corridors as well as the I-80and I-90 corridors from Illinois to Ohio.
The same snow storm system is expected to bring snow, ice, and slippery roads to parts of North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware on Sunday.
