According to the National Weather Service of Topeka, showers will continue through the day today. Counties north of I-70 may see some light snow showers overnight with some light accumulations possible near the Nebraska border. Christmas day will also see a chance for some light rain in the north, but the big weather maker is forecast to start impacting the area late Saturday through Monday. Light freezing rain is possible Saturday evening as a cold front moves through. As the larger upper system moves over the state Sunday into Monday, there is still uncertainty of not only the timing of the system, but of the type of precipitation it will bring. Possibilities range from freezing rain to heavy snow to heavy rain, so stay tuned to the forecast for updates.
