After a mild day Tuesday with a high temperature approaching 50, a big change is on the horizon in the form of bitter cold arctic air from Canada and light snow.

According to the National Weather Service, a band of light snowfall is expected Wednesday night into early Thursday morning across central and eastern Kansas. Highest confidence on a 1 to 2 inch accumulation will exist either side of the I-70 corridor.

The arctic air will bring bitter cold subzero wind chills back to central and eastern Kansas Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
