(KFVS) - The Missouri Department of Transportation advises drivers to avoid travel in the southeast area during the evening and overnight hours on December 25, due to predicted hazardous blizzard conditions.

MoDOT says the advisory remains in effect until conditions improve and maintenance crews are able to treat and plow Southeast Missouri roadways.

“The storm will most likely affect the southeast corner of Missouri and we anticipate sustained strong winds and heavy snowfall,” said Beth Wright, state maintenance engineer. “This storm could create whiteout conditions, which will make travel hazardous and clearing roads extremely difficult.”
