A WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM SATURDAY TO 6 PM SUNDAY.

* WHAT...Freezing drizzle, snow, and blowing snow expected. Total
snow and sleet accumulations between 5 and 8 inches, with locally
higher amounts near a foot possible. Total ice accumulations up to
one tenth of an inch. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph.

* WHERE...Portions of north central Kansas and south central
Nebraska.

* WHEN...From 9 AM Saturday to 6 PM CST Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Roads will likely become slick and hazardous.
Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing
snow.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Freezing drizzle is expected to develop
throughout the day on Saturday before mixing with and changing
to snow Saturday night. Near-blizzard conditions are possible late
Saturday night into Sunday morning, particularly along and south
of the state line, due to combination of heavy snow rates and
strong northerly wind gusts of 30 to 35 MPH. Snow and strong
winds will taper off from west to east Sunday afternoon and
evening, but very cold temperatures will persist into Monday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden
changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the
motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM SATURDAY TO 6 PM CST SUNDAY.

* WHAT...Periods of light freezing drizzle, snow, and blowing snow
expected. Total snow accumulations between 2 and 5 inches and
ice accumulations around a light glaze.

* WHERE...York and Hamilton Counties.

* WHEN...From 9 AM Saturday to 6 PM CST Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Roads will likely become slick and hazardous.
Visibilities may drop as low as 1/2 mile due to falling and
blowing snow.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Freezing drizzle is expected to develop
throughout the day on Saturday before mixing with and changing
to snow Saturday night. Once precipitation changes to snow,
northerly winds will increase and gust up to around 30 MPH,
resulting in blowing and drifting snow. Snow and strong winds will
taper off from west to east Sunday afternoon and evening, but
very cold temperatures will persist into Monday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be prepared for slippery roads. Slow down and use caution while
driving. If you are going outside, watch your first few steps taken
on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and
slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury.
