Any outdoor outing, even if its just to the car, or to the store door, is going to be really cold. Artic air is in entrenched across most of the northern half of the United States, including Nebraska. A polar surge came in Friday afternoon behind a cold front that drop less than an inch of snow. But with a stiff northwest wind all day Friday, temperatures where struggling through the teens and 20s.
News 2 Trueview Radar is picking up some light snow in the Nebraska Panhandle late Friday afternoon. Low temperatures Friday night across the area will depend on if you have clouds and snow, or crystal clear skies. Areas west of Paxton will have clouds and snow, so those areas will stay above zero. I think folks in North Platte will see a low of zero, and areas north of Highway 92 will be 5 to 10 below with clear skies. Snowfall should remain under an inch, but we will all have to deal with wind chill factors of 10-20 below tonight. Please make sure you dress right for the bitter cold.
Saturday and Saturday night look to be a quite but cold, highs with partly sunny skies will be in the low to mid 20s with a west/southwest wind out ahead of the next storm system. Low’s Saturday will be in the single digits but everyone should stay above zero.
The fun starts on Sunday, snow will be in the increase across Nebraska during the day. By Sunday night and Monday morning, we could have a nice snow event in here. As of right now, there is a possibility of 3-6 inches north of Interstate 80. One to 3 inches south of I-80, and close to the Kansas border maybe some mixed precipitation. There will be some changes in this forecast. Stay tuned to News 2 through out the weekend and Meteorologist Tara Moore will keep you updated.
Temperatures don’t go anywhere on Monday, in fact some areas may not pull out of the single digits for highs. Monday night into Tuesday morning may bring some of the coldest air of the winter with dangerous wind chill readings.
