Freezing drizzle across the Tri-State Area has coated highways with a layer of ice. Ice accumulation around 0.10" has been reported in Goodland and Oberlin this AM. Even if highways look ice free they likely may not be, especially if they are not treated yet. #kswx #newx #cowx

It’s not worth driving in this to go get a bag of Takis. It’s worth driving in this if you need to go to the hospital, or work somewhere that’s required to keep society functioning. Tell a friend.

If interstates are snow covered, you don't even want to see the side roads. DO NOT TRAVEL tonight... dozens of stalled cars around the Metro and dangerous temperatures continue even as snow tapers off. FOX4 News Kansas City #KCwx #MOwx #KSwx

Wildland fire danger threatens most of Kansas today with strong winds across most of the state. It only takes a spark to start a fire that can quickly get out of control. #kswx | #FireSafety | #fireseason2025 | Governor Laura Kelly | Kansas ForestService | Kansas Fire Marshal

Fire weather watches and red flag warnings, along with high wind warnings, are in effect for much of the state. There should be NO outdoor burning of any kind, as the slightest ember could become tomorrow's inferno. Governor Laura Kelly Kansas ForestService Kansas Fire Marshal #kswx

A Red Flag Warning is in effect for most of Kansas. Extreme fire danger means that fires start quickly...spread furiously and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious. #kswx | #FireSafety | #fireseason2025 | Governor Laura Kelly | Kansas ForestService | Kansas Fire Marshal | National Weather Service
