The brownish color in this satellite image (circled in yellow) is blowing dust coming from TX and wildfire smoke in OK. Strong SW winds are gusting 50-60 mph. We've gotten reports of reduced visibility from this. You may also smell smoke from this heading into the evening. #kswx

Local wreckers are not currently responding to calls to retrieve vehicles that become stuck. Emergency services will still prioritize life-threatening situations, but simply being stuck is not an emergency.

Location Update: I-70 eastbound, exit 252 (Salina, KS) Several hours ago, we had a crash here. The exit ramp remains closed due to ice. Every time we try moving vehicles, they slide into each other. While we’re working to reopen this exit, other serious calls are coming in, so tow services are being rerouted to higher-priority incidents. Another reminder: If you can, please stay home. The roads are slick, and unnecessary travel puts everyone at risk. #KSwx #StaySafe

Traffic Update - I-70 near Salina (4pm) Westbound traffic is completely stopped. Eastbound has very narrow paths where some vehicles might navigate through, but overall, there are significant stoppages and challenges. Several exits are closed due to jackknifed semis and vehicles sliding into one another, creating blockages. Even tow trucks and KDOT crews are getting stuck. If you’re planning to travel, stay home if possible and check KanDrive.gov for the latest road conditions. #KSwx
