While southeast Kansas sifts through damage caused by hail, strong winds and maybe even a tornado or two, the northwest corner of the Sunflower State is being hammered by a blizzard.
On May 2.
The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for portions of Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska until 7 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Blowing snow and winds gusting to 55 miles an hour are expected to create whiteout conditions, making travel virtually impossible. The snow isn’t expected to accumulate, but it’s still shutting down roads and knocking out power.
At least the cold weather won’t last long. The high near St. Francis in the northwestern corner of Kansas will be 38 today - and nearly double that by Sunday.
