The cold air has really taken a slow trek throughout the Ozarks; unfortunately, the computer model guidance has a real tough time with a shallow arctic air mass, and that leaves uncertainty in the forecast. We're expecting winter weather for Thursday; however, some places like the River Valley and south won't deal with it until Friday morning. Look at the timelines above for more detail.

The greatest areas for ice will stay across McDonald, Benton, Carroll, and Delaware counties. Here's what we're expecting for total ice accumulations.




Remember, Thursday afternoon should be fine with temperatures warming above freezing; the ice totals are more for Thursday morning and evening. Be very careful of bridges and overpasses!
