Forecasters say the region is on track to see its first widespread snowfall of the season beginning Monday, with most of the accumulation expected from mid-morning into early afternoon.

Most areas are forecast to receive 1 to 3 inches of snow, though locally higher totals are possible depending on where heavier bands develop. While the system is not expected to produce significant snowfall amounts, meteorologists warn that the first snow of the season often brings a higher risk of travel issues as drivers readjust to winter road conditions.

Light to moderate rain showers will continue through Saturday morning before gradually changing to a rain–snow mix and eventually all light snow from sunrise into early afternoon. The National Weather Service says any meaningful accumulation will be limited to far northern Kansas along the Highway 36 corridor, where up to an inch of snow is possible. Elsewhere, only trace amounts are expected before the system exits by mid-afternoon.

Gusty northwest winds behind the front may create minor travel impacts, especially in areas still seeing light snow. Winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph are expected from mid-morning through early evening, potentially reducing visibility at times.
