Kansas’s WichitaOn Wednesday, a strong winter storm system is predicted to make landfall in the Midwest, bringing with it snow, rain, and possible travel delays. Kansas and the neighboring states should be ready for ice conditions, poor visibility, and challenging roads by the end of the week.
By midweek, the forming low-pressure system is expected to move into the Plains, impacting regions along I-70 and the Midwest, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Wichita.
Forecasters are positive that the storm will deliver rain, but they are unsure of its precise path. Depending on this, towns may see freezing rain, a lot of snow, or both.
Road conditions may swiftly deteriorate Wednesday night and Thursday, so travelers in Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois are encouraged to keep an eye on the storm’s approach.
By Thursday morning, temperatures are predicted to drop precipitously below freezing, raising the possibility of snow accumulation and slippery areas.
Early in the week, the Midwest will experience quiet weather with highs in the 40s on Sunday and Monday. Wednesday will see the start of precipitation, with more significant effects anticipated on Thursday. Widespread snowfall is predicted for Kansas, western Missouri, and perhaps southern Illinois on Friday.
Midwest residents should prepare for possible delays or disruptions and start stockpiling supplies now. As storm specifics become more apparent over the coming few days, keep a watch on local predictions for updates.
