Saturday evening is expected to bring another round of snow into the area.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for much of northwest Kansas, including Ellis County. Forecasters are calling for new snowfall accumulation of 4 to 6 inches, with some areas possibly receiving more.

North winds between 15 and 25 mph are expected to lead to drifting and make road conditions hazardous, the NWS warned. In addition, the storm will bring dangerously cold temperatures, with wind chills dipping as low as 15 below.

The weather is expected to arrive in the region Saturday evening and continue through Sunday morning.
