Looking to be a wet day in the North Platte area on Wednesday. Highs will be in the mid 40s with winds out of the East 10 to 20mph... T-Storms are possible east of North Platte on Wednesday afternoon, some of these storms may become severe... Highs will be around 55-60 for the Broken Bow and Lexington Areas. Colder HWY 61 and west... And this is where we land on the snow topic...
Snow will spread into the Panhandle (West of Big Springs) on Wednesday Morning and Wednesday Afternoon. By Wednesday Afternoon im looking at a 9 alarm snowstorm taking place from Big Springs west. Travel maybe severely impacted by Wednesday Afternoon. Please be prepared for I-80 and I-76 to be possibly closed starting Early Wednesday afternoon.
Wednesday Night I am looking for the snow to start to spread into the Ogallala, Tryon, Mullen Areas and westward. And by Thursday AM im looking for the snow to start moving into the North Platte area.
As for snowfall totals by Friday AM, I am looking for 1 to 2 feet of snow in the Panhandle and Eastern Colorado, this includes the Big Springs, Lewellen, Chappel and Oshkosh areas. 6 to 12 inches of snow for Ogallala, Arthur, Tryon, Mullen, Hyannis and Western Cherry County. And about 2-5 inches for the North Platte area. This is all subject to change, depending on change over times, and more importanly, the track of the low! For example, a 30 to 40 mile eastward track would put North Platte in possibly double digit snowfall.
Stay tuned to News 2 on this winter storm...
