Hutchinson and Reno County is expected to get another round of winter weather Monday night and Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Wichita.
Heavy snow is possible Monday night and into Tuesday, with accumulations ranging from four to nine inches. Higher accumulation numbers are expected to the southeast of Hutchinson.
Roads and bridges will likely become slick and hazardous, according to the NWS.
“Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve,” the NWS’s site read. “If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.”
Bitter cold will also be a threat. Wind chills Monday night are expected to hit 17 below zero and 24 below zero for Tuesday night.
Temperatures are expected to remain potentially dangerous after Tuesday. Wednesday night’s wind chill is expected to hit 17 below zero and six below zero for Thursday night.
