Winter weather advisories continue across the KVOE listening area into the evening hours.
Advisories cover Lyon, Coffey, Morris, Osage and Wabaunsee counties until 10 pm and Chase and Greenwood counties until 7 pm, reflecting the chances of light wintry precipitation and hazardous travel as a result. TV-13 meteorologist Doug Meyers says about the only sure things over the next 24 hours are cold temperatures, breezy conditions and light snow and ice accumulations.
Temperatures will be close to freezing all day. Meyers anticipates the morning could be mainly dry, with snow or ice for the afternoon hours. Meyers says travel issues may develop by late afternoon or early evening as temperatures slide below freezing.
Overall, up to an inch of snow and up to 0.20 inches of ice are possible areawide.
No accumulation developed Tuesday.
