4:40 p.m. Lawrence street crews are working to determine whether they’ll continue around-the-clock operations overnight.

Tom Orzulak, street division manager, said he’s keeping a close eye on the changing forecast and will make his decision by 8 p.m.

Crews haven’t been needed on the roads much today, Orzulak said, but that could change if the temperature of the pavement gets much colder.

4:33 p.m. We are still dealing with winter weather through the evening and first part of tomorrow, although the heaviest snow remains well to the north of Lawrence and should through tomorrow.

We are looking at periods of cold rain that could mix with snow through the evening and first part of Tuesday. We will be lucky to see 1 inch of total snow out of this storm in Lawrence.

Pavement temperatures remain near 40° which means that it will be hard to have area streets pick up any accumulation, but you should watch bridges and overpasses during the overnight and first part of tomorrow.

11:23 a.m. A major winter storm continues to affect much of Northeast Kansas. Most of the precipitation across the area has changed over to snow.

For the remainder of Monday, we will continue to expect periods of rain and snow across most of Douglas County. A winter weather advisory is in effect for Douglas and Leavenworth counties until 6 AM Tuesday. We will look for the possibility of 1-3″ snow accumulations on grassy surfaces. Luckily, no snow is expected to accumulate on our roadways. However, travelers need to take extra caution if you plan on driving across Northeast Kansas Monday and Tuesday. We have already had several reports of cars sliding off roadways to our northwest.

This storm will continue into the overnight hours for Monday bringing us continued chances for rain and snow.
