Two separate weather systems will affect the area late this week into this Weekend. The first system Thursday Night into Friday looks to bring a chance of a light Wintry mix of precipitation. A thin glazing of ice is possible. The next, stronger system is expected to impact the area Saturday Night through Sunday Night. This system will produce snow, sleet and freezing rain across the area, with snow more likely in Central Kansas, and freezing rain more likely in the Southeast. Snow and ice accumulations will be possible, however, amounts are highly uncertain this far out. Some travel problems are possible Saturday Night through Sunday.
