The National Weather Service in Wichita has once again expanded the Winter Storm Warning area until noon Tuesday.

Additional snow accumulations of 3 to 5  inches are possible with winds gusting as high as 55 mph.

Very difficult to impossible travel conditions are  expected due to significant blowing and drifting of snow. The  very strong north winds will cause dangerous and extremely low  visibility whiteout conditions at times. The hazardous  conditions will impact the morning commute. The very gusty  north winds could also bring down small tree branches and some  power lines.

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.

The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 511.&nbsp;
