City of Salina 

With a wintry mix of snow expected to begin Tuesday and continue into Wednesday, the City of Salina is preparing roadways ahead of the potential weather.

City crews will begin salting all roads before precipitation starts and will remain on standby to deploy as needed.

Forecast overview

Monday night into Tuesday:

• Isolated light snow showers could begin shortly after midnight Tuesday, continuing intermittently through the morning.

• Pavement temperatures are expected to drop below freezing late Monday, creating the potential for slick surfaces, especially on untreated roads.

Tuesday into Wednesday:

• Snowfall is expected to become more widespread before dawn Tuesday, accumulating throughout the day.

• Road surfaces are likely to remain at or below freezing through Wednesday, potentially making the morning commute hazardous.

Officials urge drivers to maintain a safe distance when approaching city salt trucks, as close driving can create additional safety concerns for operators and other motorists.
