Wichita, KS – A winter storm warning remains in effect across central and south-central Kansas, with heavy snow continuing through early Wednesday morning. Snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches are expected in some areas, making travel hazardous.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, the warning affects cities including Wichita, Salina, Hutchinson, Great Bend, and Independence. Snowfall, combined with strong winds, is reducing visibility and creating slippery road conditions, particularly during the Tuesday evening commute.
Drivers are urged to use caution and allow extra time for travel. Officials advise keeping an emergency kit with a flashlight, food, and water in vehicles in case of delays.
The storm is expected to taper off by 6 AM Wednesday, though road conditions may remain hazardous as crews work to clear snow. For updated road conditions, residents can call 511 or check local transportation department websites.
