A storm system is forecast to move northeastward across the Kansas region Monday through Tuesday. Accumulating, plow-able snowfall will be possible across Central Kansas from Monday through Tuesday. Rain over South Central and Southeast Kansas beginning later Monday may mix with then change to light snow before ending on Tuesday. Little if any accumulation is expected along and southeast of the Kansas Turnpike, unless the storm track shifts further south. Strong Northerly winds of 25 to 45 mph will occur from late Monday through Tuesday. This could result in blowing/drifting snow in Central Kansas with sharply reduced visibilities. The storm track may change over the next day or two, which would result in forecast adjustments. The exact snowfall accumulations and location of the heavier snowfall swath are still uncertain this far out, so please stay tuned for later forecast updates.
