NWS WICHITA
The National Weather Service in Wichita has issued a Winter Storm Watch for portions of central, south-central, and southeast Kansas, including Salina, from Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon.
The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts that the storm could bring 8 inches or more of snow to Saline County and the surrounding areas late Tuesday night into Wednesday. The heaviest accumulation is expected Wednesday morning, creating hazardous road conditions, especially along I-70 and Highway 56.
Residents should prepare for considerable disruptions to daily life, dangerous driving conditions, and widespread closures and delays.
Employers are encouraged to consider delayed start times or remote work options where possible. Reducing traffic during peak snowfall will help road crews clear streets more efficiently.
Those who must travel should use caution, allow extra time, and stay informed of road conditions.
To report cancellations, delays and postponements, please email the information to [email protected]
