There's a chance for snow or a wintry mix late Wednesday night. A mix of light snow, sleet or even some freezing rain are possible with little ice accumulation, NWS noted. At this time, central Kansas has the best chance for some light snow accumulations around one inch, mainly for locations along and north of a Kingman to Wichita, to Eureka line, according to NWS.
