Central Kansas is bracing for powerful northwest winds on Wednesday, bringing gusts up to 65 mph in areas along and west of the Flint Hills. Southeast Kansas will also see significant wind gusts, reaching around 55 mph throughout the day.

These strong winds will usher in much colder air, with the potential for snow flurries in central Kansas by Wednesday morning. The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for Russell and Lincoln counties, where blizzard conditions are expected early Wednesday.

The warning includes portions of Interstate 70, where travel could become hazardous due to reduced visibility and strong winds. Motorists are urged to use caution and check road conditions before traveling.
