Saturday morning update from National Weather Service: Here are our latest thoughts on the upcoming potential for a winter storm early next week. First, the storm track may vary from the current forecast which could significantly impact the forecast for your local area. Second, it currently appears that there will be a sharp gradient from a lot of snow to not much snow. Third, any snow will have considerable blowing and drifting with very strong winds expected. As of now, north central and parts of northeast Kansas currently appear to have the greatest likelihood for widespread heavy snow while there is much more uncertainty farther to the southeast where precipitation may start out as rain.
