A winter storm is making its way across the Plains, bringing with it snow, wind, and freezing temperatures. The areas along and north of I-70 can expect to see snow accumulations of 2-4 inches, although the strong north to northwest winds, gusting above 30 mph, will make it challenging to measure. Central and southern Kansas may see lighter accumulations of around a trace to 2 inches, with minimal impact on road conditions until Wednesday.
Light snow is expected to persist overnight and throughout the day on Tuesday. Temperatures will be in the 30s across much of the state, but it will feel colder due to gusty northwest winds. The majority of the snow accumulation from this storm is anticipated to occur before daybreak on Wednesday.
Expect morning flurries to taper off on Wednesday, giving way to scattered sunshine across Kansas. The wind will gradually subside by midweek, while temperatures will hover in the 30s.
Late in the week, Kansas can expect calmer weather with more sun and a gradual warm up. By Friday, temperatures will reach the 40s.
