Update Friday 5:30 a.m.:

 

The timeline for today's winter weather has moved up slightly.  This morning, the heaviest snow is expected between 7 and 11 a.m. and will mainly be centered in southcentral Kansas.  Southeast Kansas will see a rain and snow mix to start the morning, transitioning to light snow around 9 a.m., then back to a mix in the afternoon and evening hours.   Expected snowfall amounts have not changed significantly since last night's update.

 

The second storm on the way early next week has parts of southeast Kansas in a 40-50 percent chance of seeing impactfull winter weather.  Areas further south and west will see less of a chance of winter weather with the next storm.

 

 

Update 6 p.m.:

 

A trace to one inch of snow is still expected for the Coffeyville area.

 

Light snow is likely to start early Friday morning for southcentral Kansas and northcentral Oklahoma, most likely between 4 and 6 a.m.  Light snow is expected later in the morning for southeast Kansas, most likely before 9 a.m., so most morning commutes should not be impacted by snow.  Heavy snow is more likely to impact morning driving in southcentral Kansas and the Wichita area.  Snow is expected to transition to rain by the afternoon for southeast Kansas.
