Good Sunday AM. Here is an update with the snow. I think final snow totals will be about 3 to 6 inches north of HWY 2. From about HWY 2 south to I-80, 1 to 3 inches of snow is possible. And south of I-80 up to an inch of snow is possible. Combine this snowfall with the strong north wind of 30mph and gusting up to 55mph. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS are likely as we continue into early Sunday Afternoon. Travel should be avoided in rural/open areas outside of North Platte/Ogallala. If you must travel Sunday please make sure you have a winter survival kit such as blankets, dry food (like crackers) snow shovel, bottle water and a red ribbon to tie to your car just in case you get stuck so help can find you quicker. Speaking of if you get stuck, if you get stuck in a rural/open area (or anywhere for that matter) STAY INSIDE YOUR CAR! And do not expose yourself to this harsh weather.
Bitter Cold!
Temperatures today will be falling all day Sunday and will remain below zero most of the day for most areas. The snow should wrap up at the latest by 3pm. But the cold air will not wrap up. A wind chill advisory goes into effect for Northern Nebraska tonight at 6pm. And for the tri-cites as well. Lows tonight will range form about 8 to 10 below in North Platte to 18-22 below in the Valentine area. Wind chill readings will range from 20 to 40 below most of the day and may approach 50 below in some areas tonight.
Stay warm and stay with KNOP-TV News 2 for the latest weather updates.
