Missouri Department of Transportation workers will be out treating roads and bridges in advance of a potential winter storm this weekend.
Precipitation could start as early as Saturday in some parts of the state, then move across the state and continue through Monday, according to the National Weather Service in St. Louis.
Rain and other precipitation are predicted for Saturday, with snow and ice forecast for Sunday into Monday.
The potential winter storm has the potential to affect morning and evening commutes Monday.
NWS officials said Friday the Jefferson City area could see 2 or more inches of precipitation.

Transportation officials and authorities offered some safety tips for people who must travel in inclement weather:
Stay at least six car lengths back from snowplows and equipment. Plowed snow can create a cloud that can blind drivers following too closely.
If your wipers are on, keep your headlights on.
If you encounter car troubles or are involved in a crash, remain in your vehicle.
