16 February 2024
Wintry weather has arrived and is mainly impacting the northern half of the area. However, some of this snow, possibly mixed with some rain, could dip farther south of I-70 and skim the Wichita Metro through mid to late morning.
Due to the potential of slick roads, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for portions of North Central Kansas. Most accumulations will be up to around an inch but in the Advisory is where some accumulations could get up to 2″.
Due to the quick-moving nature of this moisture as it tracks to the east and southeast, it will be gone by the lunch hour.
Strong northerly winds and clouds will make for a colder day. High temperatures will feel more winter-like and only reach the 30s and 40s.
A second round of moisture moves in from the west later this evening. Snow showers will mainly impact Western Kansas tonight.
Not everyone will see snow but everyone will be in store for a colder night. Overnight lows will be as low as the teens.
There is a small chance that some early morning snow lingers into Saturday to the southwest but the rest of the day will be dry with clearing skies.
Between this morning and tonight, snowfall accumulations will be light but will still be worth your attention if traveling.
Any accumulating snow will also not stick around long. Temperatures will warm back up after Saturday and there will be plenty of sunshine.
There is a small chance that some moisture materializes on Monday but no major storm systems are expected through late next week.
