An upper level storms system is forecast to move across northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas during the day Monday which is slightly faster than previous forecasts. This faster movement could allow colder air to move into central and eventually eastern Kansas through the day Monday and change rain over to snow. There is still some uncertainty with how much cold air will move into the area and when precipitation may change over to snow. Therefore it is difficult to project any specifics with regards to snow amounts.
If snow does occur... it will most likely start across north central Kansas Sunday night and then spread east into northeast and possibly east central Kansas during the day Monday.
Due to the uncertainty in the forecast... persons in north Central... Northeast and east central Kansas should pay close attention to the forecast during the day Sunday and prepare for wintry conditions on Sunday night and throughout the day Monday.
