A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST
Wednesday. A blizzard watch remains in effect from Wednesday
evening through Thursday afternoon.

* Freezing rain... freezing drizzle and possibly sleet are expected
to develop across portions of southwest Kansas tonight mainly
east of a Hugoton to Garden City to Ness City line... before
transitioning to areas of snow during the afternoon on
Wednesday.

* Accumulations of sleet or freezing rain could range around one
tenth of an inch... with close to one quarter of an inch in the
Hays and LaCrosse area before the mixed precipitation changes to
snow. Snow accumulations Wednesday through Thursday are expected
to range from 2 to 4 inches over most of southwest Kansas with
locally higher amounts up to 6 inches.

* Strong northwest winds of 25 to 40 mph are expected to develop
late Wednesday night... continuing into Thursday which will
promote widespread significant blowing and drifting snow.
Blizzard or near blizzard conditions will be possible at
times.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A blizzard watch means there is a potential for falling and/or
blowing snow with strong winds and extremely poor visibilities.
This can lead to whiteout conditions and make travel very
dangerous.

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or
freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for
slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.
