The weather service office in Goodland says the storm is expected to be more severe to the west in Colorado. But snow and wind gusts up to 55 miles per hour may combine in northwest Kansas, reducing visibility on roadways.
The weather service says the snow in Kansas would likely begin after midnight Monday, with the heaviest snowfall expected about midmorning Tuesday.
The blizzard watch in Kansas is forecast to be in effect from late Monday through Tuesday night.
