Dodge City, KS – A narrow band of rain and snow could move across parts of central Kansas early Wednesday, potentially bringing slick conditions before sunrise, according to the National Weather Service in Dodge City.
Forecasters describe the setup as “complicated” and “tricky,” with a quick-moving system expected to develop over the central counties. The band of precipitation is forecast to form near Dodge City during the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, February 3, 2026.
According to the National Weather Service, there is strong agreement that this band will form, but uncertainty remains regarding how much snow will fall and exactly where it will occur. Current models show a 50–70% chance of measurable precipitation across portions of south-central Kansas.
Even where snow does develop, forecasters note that roads will likely remain wet instead of icy due to mild ground temperatures. Drivers planning early commutes Wednesday morning are urged to allow extra time and stay alert for changing road conditions.
Additional forecast updates will be issued overnight as confidence in the system’s path improves.
