The temperature was 38 degrees at 11 a.m., and the weather service predicted a wintry mix across the region today, with a chance of light snow accumulation.

There is a 30 percent chance of precipitation this afternoon, mainly after 4 p.m. Tonight, there is a 40 percent chance of rain, snow, freezing rain and sleet before midnight, then a slight chance of snow between midnight and 3 a.m., the weather service said. Between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of precipitation is predicted, according to the weather service. Tonight’s low will be around 18.

Areas near and south of the Missouri River which get above freezing this afternoon may see the wintry mix change to rain before changing to snow this evening, the weather service said.

About an inch of snow is possible for parts of the region with amounts tapering to the southwest, and this area might receive as much as a quarter-inch of snow. A thin glaze of ice is possible south of the Missouri River, the weather service said.
