Freezing rain, drizzle has Lawrence and Douglas County in winter weather advisory until noon
Lawrence, all of Douglas County and most of northeast Kansas is in a winter weather advisory until noon today due to overnight icing of roads and sidewalks.
The National Weather Service in Topeka said ice accumulations should be no more than a light glaze, but that will be enough to make sidewalks, roads, and especially bridges and overpasses slick on Wednesday morning.
There were vehicles off the side of the road on Kansas Highway 10 on Wednesday morning. The Journal-World has reached out to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office for information on any accidents or other traffic impacts related to the icy weather.
The National Weather Service forecast for Wednesday says freezing rain or drizzle in Lawrence is possible until about 11 a.m.. Rain or drizzle is expected to continue, but temperatures later in the day are forecasted to rise to about 40 degrees. Lows on Wednesday night are expected to be right near the freezing mark.
