This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Central Kansas,
South Central Kansas and Southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

A few thunderstorms are possible late this afternoon and evening 
across far southeast Kansas. While severe weather is not expected, 
a few strong storms with gusty winds and small hail may be 
possible.

Light snow will spread across portions of central and north central
Kansas tonight. Snow accumulations around one inch are possible 
through sunrise. Much higher accumulations will occur across 
northwest Kansas and Nebraska. Additionally, strong and gusty 
northwest winds will develop later tonight, resulting in reduced 
visibility in blowing and drifting snow. A winter weather advisory 
has been issued for Lincoln, Russell, Barton, Ellsworth, and Saline
counties.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Light snow will continue moving across portions of central and 
east central Kansas Monday morning. Additional snow accumulations 
of around one inch are possible generally along and north of I-70. 
Additionally, strong and gusty northwest winds will impact the 
entire area Monday, with gusts up to 45 mph likely, resulting in 
reduced visibilities in falling and blowing snow. A winter weather 
advisory has been issued for Lincoln, Russell, Barton, Ellsworth,
and Saline counties.

The strong northwest winds will support very high grassland fire 
danger in areas that do not receive snow. A very high grassland 
fire danger is also expected Thursday and Friday due to mild 
temperatures and strong south winds. Please avoid outdoor burning.

Another storm system may spread light snow across portions of the 
area Friday night through early Saturday. At this time, snow 
accumulations and impacts appear to be minimal.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated tonight.
