Another Winter Storm To Affect The Plains

The weather will be slowly going down hill across Nebraska as we head through the daytime on Monday. There will be a wide range of highs acorss Nebraska, ranging from the 50s south of I-80 to around 45 in North Platte to the 30s in the sandhills. There is also a chance of snow north and northwest of Hyannis Monday afternoon.

Monday night is when things start to get interesting in the plains especially in Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota... First off if you have any travel plans into the Dakotas, travel is most likely not happening starting Monday night. We will have are own travel worries Monday night and Tuesday across Nebraska. As for snowfall, iam not looking for much only about 1-3" through Tuesday. But the winds will be a lot stronger with this system unlike the last system. At times winds maybe gusting up to 40mph. In addition, like the last system, we may have patchy freezing rain to deal with Monday night that may put down a coat of ice on ur car.

Tuesday, if there is any frozen precip it will turn back to all snow. Tuesday is going to be a cold, nasty and snowy day across Nebraska. It will make the 70s and 80s we had last week a distant memory. Low presure will pull up into Minnesota, and an arctic high will build into the Dakotas. Tuesday nights lows look to be around zero in North Platte to about -10 in Valentine. Wind Chills may be around 15 to 25 below Tuesday Night as well.

Ranchers, animals should be moved to shelter by late Monday afternoon, especially the young cavs.

Take care
