Monday's Weather

The weather over Greater Nebraska for the rest of the workweek can best be described by one word – YUCK!!! A very slow moving storm (actually two storms eventually merging) will affect the area through Friday as it moves eastward.

Rain, some heavy, will fall overnight through Tuesday, and since the ground is still frozen the water will runoff quickly, causing ponding on roads and perhaps some quick rises on streams. A Flood Watch is in effect through later Tuesday night. Temperatures will slowly fall to about 40 by morning, then remain steady or fall slowly to about 35 by Tuesday evening.

By later Tuesday, as it turns colder, the rain may begin to mix with, or even change to snow, especially in areas like the Panhandle and the Sandhills. The precipitation will then continue at varying rates through Friday, and some accumulation is possible by the time the storm loses its grip on Saturday. Right now, the weekend is looking better with sunny skies and temperatures in the 40's.
Stay tuned to News 2 for the latest updates.
