Forecast models remain on track for light to moderate snowfall Tuesday and possibly into early Wednesday.
National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Baerg tells KVOE News the current forecast is still looking at 3-5 inches of snowfall areawide.
Folks along and southeast of the Kansas Turnpike could still get a thin glaze of freezing drizzle to close out this event. Areas getting the freezing drizzle would see lower snow totals than areas that can avoid the freezing precipitation. Travel issues are expected throughout and after this weather event.
A winter weather advisory now covers Lyon, Coffey, Morris, Osage and Wabaunsee counties from 3 pm Tuesday to 9 am Wednesday. Chase and Greenwood counties are in a separate advisory from noon Tuesday to 6 am Wednesday.

11:30 am Monday: Brace yourselves for — you guessed it — another winter storm
Here we go again.
A winter storm is poised to drop anywhere from 3-6 inches of snow across the KVOE listening area from Tuesday afternoon and evening into early Wednesday. TV-13 meteorologist Doug Meyers:
Right now, it appears the heavier snow totals — four inches or more — will set up west of the Kansas Turnpike. Up to 3 inches are likely along and southeast of the highway, along with a thin frosting of freezing drizzle at the end. Travel issues are expected throughout and after this weather event.

5 am Monday: Travel conditions improve — just in time for another winter storm
Travel conditions improved considerably after Friday’s widespread light snowfall and Saturday’s spotty freezing drizzle.
In Emporia, major arterials and the higher-traveled residential collector streets are either dry or can be considered with seasonal driving conditions, thanks to sunshine and temperatures near 30 degrees. Residential streets are slick in spots.
Areawide, major highways are largely dry or seasonal. Interstate 35 from the Lyon-Coffey county line to BETO Junction still partially covered, as is US Highway 75 from BETO Junction south to Kansas Highway 58.
More improvements are expected Tuesday with highs in the mid-20s, but our next winter storm is set to impact us by early Tuesday afternoon with 3-6 inches of snow. Higher totals are anticipated west of the Kansas Turnpike — and at least a possibility of a thin coating of freezing drizzle exists along and east of the Turnpike early Wednesday morning.
