The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for much of western Kansas.

The advisory is in effect from noon Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday, the NWS said.

Forecasters are calling for snow ranging from 2 to 6 inches, with the highest amounts along and north of Highway 50.

North winds between 15 and 30 mph Friday night and Saturday morning could lead to light to moderate blowing and drifting, the NWS warned.

“Expect snow covered roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving,” the NWS said, noting there is a “high uncertainty” of the actual amount of snow on the way.
