The Missouri Department of Transportation is preparing for another winter weather event expected to begin Tuesday afternoon.

Tonya Lohman is the Maintenance and Traffic Engineer for MoDOT’s Northwest District. Lohman said, when preparing for a winter event, on the district and state levels, they are a part of conference calls with their National Weather Service partners to find out what kind of weather is on the way.

On Tuesday, the snow event is anticipated to begin around 4 p.m. with anywhere from three to six inches of snow expected. Lohman said the snow is expected to come in at a high intensity at the beginning.

The area will be under a Winter Weather Advisory from 6 p.m. Tuesday until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
