NWS warns of poor road conditions as winter weather rolls across Kansas

TOPEKA (KSNT) – The National Weather Service (NWS) is warning motorists to use caution when traveling across Kansas due to wintry conditions.

The NWS station in Topeka said in a social media post that there is a 70-100% chance snow will move through the area from the west on Saturday, Nov. 25. Some areas could receive as much as four to seven inches in northeast Kansas.

“The snow is likely to create hazardous driving conditions with falling snow reducing visibilities and creating slick, snow packed roads. If travel is necessary, go slow and give yourself extra time reaching the destination.”
