…AT LEAST MINIMAL SNOW ACCOMPANIED BY INTENSE NORTH-NORTHWEST
WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING…
* WHAT…Snow and blowing snow with potential near-blizzard
conditions expected. Total snow accumulation 1 inch or less most
places, but possibly closer to 2 inches in limited spots.
North-northwest winds gusting as high as 55 to 65 mph.
* WHERE…Portions of north central Kansas and central, east
central, and south central Nebraska.
* WHEN…From 3 PM this afternoon to 3 AM CST Wednesday.
* IMPACTS…Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
conditions could impact the Tuesday evening commute. Very strong
winds could cause near-blizzard like conditions in any steadier
snow bands.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Although winds will be very intense out of
the north-northwest, the minimal amount of expected snow, along
with its wet and sticky consistency, is currently expected to keep
true whiteout conditions from occurring for more than a brief
period of time. For most of the area, snow should end sometime
between 9 PM and midnight.
