Ready or not, another round of messy weather is coming to Kansas and it will have an impact on many areas. Some of you get ice, some get sleet, and others get snow. We will ALL get the cold weather.
So here's a breakdown of when it starts and when it wraps up.
Around 3-6 a.m. Friday:
The icy weather quickly develops and starts moving east. This should be mostly sleet, but some freezing drizzle may mix in too. Farther north, I'm expecting light snow. This should be for most areas north of I-70. Ice accumulation won't be enough for widespread power outages or tree damage, but roads and sidewalks could be a mess.
Around mid-morning to early afternoon:
The entire area of icy weather and snow continues moving east. Most of the sleet and freezing drizzle will be winding down, but snow will continue farther north. And accumulations will be underway in north central and northeast Kansas.
Early Friday evening:
The snow quickly pushes east and it will be wrapping up for our area. We might even see some sunshine in western Kansas toward the late afternoon timeframe.
Saturday evening:
Another chance for some light snow is coming through, but it shouldn't amount to much. There might be a few hours of light snow or flurries, but it's doubtful that it would be anything widespread.
Snowfall forecast:
I'm expecting widespread 1-3" amounts for areas north of I-70, but as you get closer to Manhattan, Topeka, and KC, it will be closer to 3 and 4 inch amounts.
