Light snow to persist much of Monday for Wichita

While the heavy snow that fell overnight has eased, forecasters say light snow will persist through most of the day in the Wichita area.

That will add another inch or two to the total accumulation, which was about 4 inches at the official recording station next to Mid-Continent Airport in southwest Wichita – but 6 inches in central and northern parts of the city.

Some freezing fog is being reported, and is expected to continue until about 10 a.m.

A winter storm warning remains in effect until 6 p.m. for more than 30 counties in southern Kansas, including the Wichita metropolitan area.

Winds that are calm prior to sunrise will stir and strengthen out of the north as the day unfolds. Those winds will blow steadily in the upper teens and gust to nearly 30 miles an hour.

Lows overnight will dip into the teens, with gusty winds persisting, and Tuesday should be cold and blustery with highs in the upper 20s and wind chills below zero.
