WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – A Storm Team 12 Weather Alert has been issued for high winds and some light snow that will impact Kansas starting Tuesday night. While snow accumulations will be minimal due to warming ground temperatures, travelers should be ready to deal with strong winds and reduced visibilities.
Tuesday will be a day with gusty southwest winds and temperatures reaching record highs. Much of the state will hit 80, but it will turn sharply colder into the night with a front on the way. Northwest wind gusts of over 50 mph look likely heading into the nighttime and early morning hours Wednesday.
Chances for snow will impact central and western Kansas, with some grassy areas in northern Kansas possibly getting upwards of 2 inches of accumulation. Wind gusts will remain between 50 and 65 mph through Wednesday evening, but should start going down pretty quickly after dark…
