Slick travel weather, 3-7 inches of snow forecast this weekend for NE Kansas

Concordia, Marysville and Hiawatha are part of an area to the north expected to see moderate to heavy snow while Emporia and Garnett are part of an area to the south expected to see mostly sleet and freezing rain, forecasters said.

Hazardous travel and travel delays are both expected throughout the area involved, forecasters said.

“Freezing rain and sleet more likely early, snow more likely late,” the weather service said Wednesday afternoon in a graphic posted on the website of its Topeka office.

Freezing drizzle should begin about 3 p.m. Saturday and be replaced overnight by snow, which is expected to continue through about 6 p.m. Sunday, forecasters said.
