Storm ending - look at what comes next

The winter storm departs, leaving behind a few inches of snow and some slick roads. Here are some reports that have come in through the morning:

Ellsworth - 2"
Salina: 2-3"
Lyons: 1"
Dodge City: 1.2"
McPherson: 2"
Southern Ottawa county: 1.3"
Wichita Rainfall: 0.09"

Here are some photos from Thursday morning.

FRIDAY: We don't have a storm coming in Friday, but there is a chance for some light snow flurries to move across northern Kansas into the evening hours. This shouldn't cause any big problems on roads or highways.

SATURDAY: Bitter cold will move in Saturday. Wind chills early Saturday will likely be below zero and afternoon highs are only expected to be in the teens to near 20.

MONDAY: And there's still another chance for some light snow into early Monday. We expect a cold front to cross the state and help produce a batch of light snow that will move from north to south. Some places might get up to an inch out of this, but it's doubtful that it will be more than that.

Bottom line is that we don't have any more storms rolling into the Plains for awhile, but we WILL have some Arctic air to deal with. Stay warm & safe out there.
