January Is Here

Thursday was a cold start. Here is a look at Thursday’s low temperatures across Greater Nebraska.

Broken Bow 3
Imperial 4
Lexington 5
North Platte -3
Ogallala -4
Thedford 1
Valentine -7

In addition, we had wind chill readings at times near –18


Another shot of snow is on its way Thursday night into Friday that may produce 1-2 inches. The heaviest snowfall looks to be north of HWY 2, with North Platte only receiving an inch or less. Behind that system is another cold night Friday, with lows around 5 below, and wind chill readings approaching –22.

Saturday look dry and cold as temperatures struggle through the teens. Sunday and Monday there is more snow in the forecast. This system will have a touch more gulf moisture to work with so we may have accumulating snowfall. Behind the system may be the coldest air of the season. With a possible fresh snow cover on the ground, temps may go 10-20 below Monday night into Tuesday, with dangerous wind chills.
