Ready or not, the next round of snow is on the way to Kansas and the timing probably isn't good for weekend travelers... or those heading to College Gameday at Koch Arena. This will not be a major winter storm, but perhaps one of the heavier snows that some of us have had all winter long. Confidence is pretty high that most of the snow totals will be around 3 or 4 inches, but some areas up near KC and Topeka could get about 6 or 7 by the time it all moves out.

| Accumulation from Friday night - Saturday |
Our FutureTrack model has been consistent in producing some light snow in western Kansas Friday afternoon. Those areas covered in blue (image below) could see up to an inch by the end of the day Friday. But the more substantial round of snow will spread in from the southwest beginning late Friday night.
The area of snow will expand as it moves east to cover the rest of the state into Saturday morning. There should be at least some wind from the southeast, so there will be periods of blowing snow.
Once we get to Sunday, the air gets warm enough at roughly 5,000 feet that some of the precipitation will be rain around Wichita and areas to the south and east. However, the farther north that you go, there will still be some light snow, especially in the west and north of I-70. We will take a closer look at this after the new data comes in around 10 a.m. this morning. A stormy pattern is underway across the Plains, and it may last for at least another week. Here we go!
