A weak area of low pressure that developed over the Plains had enough moisture and cold air to produce the first measurable snowfall of the season from communities in Kansas to the Ohio Valley. A narrow band of snow formed over the Interstate 70 corridor dropping anywhere from 1-6" of snow and making travel slick.

A cold snap has gripped the Kansas City area causing temperatures to plunge across the metro, the National Weather Service said. “Below normal temperatures are expected today (Friday) through Monday,” the weather service said.
