Snow accumulations up to 1-3″ and light icing and sleet are expected. This will lead to slick and hazardous conditions. Plan on slippery road conditions. Slow down and use caution if you have to travel!
Behind the snow, temperatures plummet, with highs in the single digits both above and below zero through the second half of the weekend and through much of next week.
Overnight lows drop into the teens and low 20's below zero with wind chills likely falling into the 30's and 40's below for several nights.
In addition, daytime wind chills likely to stay sub-zero, as low as -15 to -25°.
Temperatures at these levels would lead to frostbite in less than 10-15 minutes, so it's going to be important to limit your time outside, dress in layers, and cover as much skin as you can to protect yourself from the cold and frostbite.

You'll need to protect pets and farm animals from the bitter cold as well by keeping them inside and out of the cold as much as possible. If possible, you may want to consider coats, boots, and hats for your pets as well.
Also make sure to open up sink cabinets to let warmer air in to prevent pipes from freezing and/or bursting. It may be a good idea to let your faucets drip as well.
For more tips on staying safe in extreme cold, visit the National Weather Service's Cold Weather Safety Page.
It's a good bet we see multiple Cold Weather Advisories and/or Extreme Cold Warnings issued through the weekend and into next week, so check back with the KCAU 9 Weather Team for the latest updates.

A tornado near Pocatello? Using radar, Idaho weather experts issued warning
Weather officials said they spotted a rare tornado on radar in Southeast Idaho on Wednesday afternoon, prompting them to warn locals to take cover. The tornado warning was in effect from 3:12 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. for Idaho towns south of Pocatello, including Downey, Swanlake and Virginia, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Jack Messick. Messick said the warning was issued after experts noticed patterns on their radar that indicated a tornado. Tornadoes are an unusual event in Idaho, with an average of not even one confirmed tornado touching down in the Gem State each year, according to previous Idaho Statesman reporting. National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Valle said that as of 5 p.m., officials had not received a confirmed sighting of a tornado touching down Wednesday. There were reports of winds exceeding 60 mph and up to half an inch of rain falling in the tornado warning zone, according to Valle. The area near Pocatello was hit by the weather conditions that created the perfect storm for a possible tornado, Messick said. 'We have a cold front pushing through, and a cold front can trigger thunderstorms,' Messick told the Statesman by phone. 'The instability in the air was caused by the really hot weather we've been having, and then this cold air coming in behind it. The stronger the temperature difference across that boundary, the stronger the thunderstorms can be.'
