The National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists are urging drivers in Kansas to recognize road barracks as a snowstorm in the spring in five states in Central America on Wednesday.

What to know?
Heavy snow and strong winds have forced NWS meteorologists to issue a snowstorm warning in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. A NWS forecast states that the storm will move from the central high plains to the upper midwest and the western lakes on Wednesday and Thursday.
Blizzard warnings told drivers only if there was an emergency.
In Goodland, Kansas, in the Petition region, NWS Warning Coordination Meteorologist Jesse Lindcost said Newsweek That people should stay away from the streets. If they are driving during the storm, he called for ignoring the sanctions.
“We do not need to be trapped,” he said.
Lindcost added that people have been staggering over the past years after neglecting obstacles during the snowstorm.
The storm is expected to affect major roads, including Interstate 70.
“The combination of heavy falling snow and strong winds will produce snow -covered roads and sometimes zero exposure,” said the NWS.
Despite the severity of the storm, Lindcost said it was not uncommon for Kansas to hit the Kansas area this time this year.
What are people saying
NWS Office in Kansas’s Goodland, a blizzard warning: “In winter weather conditions, conditions can worsen. If you have to travel, allow extra time. Keep flashlight, food and water in your car in an emergency.”
The warning added: “Traveling or blowing on Interstate 70 can be dangerous or impossible due to the flow and the flow of snow. White out conditions often lead to mismanagement, resulting in a life -threatening situation. Do not travel unless it is necessary.”
La Cros, NWS Office in Blizzard’s Warning, Wisconsin: “The journey should be limited to an emergency only. If you have to travel, keep the survival cut with you in the winter. If you get stuck, stay with your car.”
Hastings, NWS Office in Nebraska, Warning in Blizzard: “Despite the wet nature of ice, on Wednesday, some parts of the local area will cause at least some strong winds with snow flow.
What happens next
The storm will move to the entire region and the great lakes on Wednesday and Thursday. In addition to the warning of the blizzard, strong winds were issued, as well as a warning of the winter in the northeast of the blizzard in Wisconsin.
Outlook at the NWS climate prediction center shows that Central America is expecting an average temperature from March 26 to April 1, which means that more snowy snow is unlikely during this time.
