developing. Frequent wind gusts to 35-50 mph are expected across
the area. Temperatures will rapidly fall below freezing, into the
teens and 20s by the late evening. The combination of strong winds
and cold temperatures will result in wind chills ranging from
around 10 degrees to just below 0 degrees in the coldest spots.
Additionally, areas of light snow are anticipated near the Kansas
and Missouri borders within the forecast area. Total snowfall will
be light, ranging from flurries to perhaps up to an inch near the
Kansas and Missouri borders.

Cold weather continues into midweek with highs below freezing
north of roughly I-40. Confidence is very low, but additional
snow may be possible near the end of the forecast period depending
on the track of the next storm system.
