The back half of a major storm snowed down across Kansas less than 24 hours after severe storms and flooding hit the area. Several inches of snow fell across southern Kansas leading to hazardous travel conditions, particularly for those driving from Wichita to Kansas City for the Chiefs game along the Kansas Turnpike. Snow cleared out of Kansas just before noon as the advisories and warnings expired.
Video package opens with daytime footage from Eldorado, Kansas in Butler County northeast of Wichita and concludes with overnight footage from Wellington, Kansas in Sumner County south of Wichita.
