The National Weather Service is predicting widespread heavy snow across western Kansas this weekend.
Meteorologists are calling for between 4 and 9 inches of snow from Saturday morning to Saturday evening. Winds between 30 to 45 mph, with gusts between 50 and 60 mph, will lead to reduced visibility and hazardous travel.
“Expect travel to become dangerous to impossible, with visibility reduced to a quarter mile at times,” the NWS warned. “Some roadways may be drifted shut.”
