Below normal temperatures forecast for the next week
Single-digit temperatures were the norm across the Kansas City region Friday morning but no major traffic problems were reported.
A vehicle fire closed three lanes of westbound Interstate 435 past Holmes Road shortly before 7 a.m. A wreck involving an overturned vehicle briefly shut down U.S. 69 at 199th Street.
The National Weather Service is not forecasting any precipitation at least until Sunday into Monday, when there is a 40 percent chance of light snow. Minor accumulations of 1 to 2 inches will be possible.
Below normal temperatures are expected for the next week.
