...BLIZZARD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT /6 PM MDT/ THIS 
EVENING...

* WHAT...Blizzard conditions. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph will 
  continue to produce ground blizzard conditions this afternoon. 
  Expect the conditions to improve through the afternoon as the 
  winds gradually decrease and temperatures warm.

* WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Kansas and 
  southwest Nebraska.

* WHEN...Until 7 PM CDT /6 PM MDT/ this evening.

* IMPACTS...The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may 
  down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Whiteout 
  conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and 
  potentially life-threatening. Visibilities will drop below 1/4 
  mile due to falling and blowing snow. Plan on slippery road 
  conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday 
  evening commute. Strong winds could cause tree damage.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. 
Allow extra time if you must travel. Keep a flashlight, food, and 
water in your vehicle in case of emergency.

Travel on Interstate 70 could become dangerous or impossible due to 
falling or blowing and drifting snow and poor visibility. Whiteout 
conditions often lead to disorientation, resulting in a 
life-threatening situation. Do not travel unless it is absolutely 
necessary.

Severe winter weather conditions are either occurring or imminent 
which will produce extreme hardship or loss of life for unprotected 
livestock.
