The National Weather Service has implemented a freeze warning for much of south and central Missouri during the overnight hours of Friday.

The freeze warning will be in effect from midnight until 9 a.m. Friday morning, with temperatures expected to drop below freezing as low as 28 degrees.

The risk of frost covers portions of southeast Kansas, as well as portions southwest, south central, west central and east central Missouri.
