Temperatures on Thursday morning were in the deep freeze as most of the KNOP-TV viewing area saw below zero temperatures, 18 below zero was reported at Valentine, 4 below was reported at North Platte. The silver lining in this morning low temperatures was that the wind was not as strong as it was on Tuesday morning. So wind chill readings were hardly a factor.
Temperatures warmed up nicely Thursday afternoon. With temperatures ranging from the 20s to the north (were there is a nice snow pack), to 30s in the south. A south wind kicks up tonight. This will hold temperatures in the teens tonight, wind chill readings may be in the single digits though with a south wind at times 10-20mph.
A storm system passes to our south and east Friday, That may bring a chance of snow to Eastern Nebraska, but for Greater Nebraska we will be looking at sunshine with 30s in areas that have snow on the ground, and 40s that don’t.
Temperatures will have a wide range the next few days. But everyone should enjoy mild conditions across the area. Saturday and Sunday, snow free areas should approach 50 while other areas nicely warm up into the 40s. I am going to keep a close eye on the snow pack across Greater Nebraska. If we can put a major dent into the snow Friday, everyone shouldn’t have a problem reaching 50 on Saturday and Sunday. But as of right now for the weekend I am going to go upper 40s north and lower 50s south. We may have to contend with a few more clouds on Sunday out ahead of the next system.
Monday the mild air sticks around, but precipitation in the form of rain comes into the forecast. Behind this system on Monday night colder air pours in and we switch the rain over to snow. Snow lingers on Tuesday with colder air, and then we have another shot of snow Wednesday.
