The January thaw is on!
As we drove around North Platte on Friday, you might have noticed you didn’t need the full winter gear. Temperatures across Greater Nebraska have easily made it into the mid to upper 40s, with some areas pushing into the lower 50s like Broken Bow.
Where going to sneak out one more mild day Saturday. With most of the snow melting and pretty much gone across the area, I don’t see a problem with everyone making it into the lower 50s Saturday. In-fact, I would be surprised to see someone push 60s in the state Saturday, especially west and north of a line from Big Springs to Thedford, where there is no snow on the ground.
Sunday a weak cold front will push through the area. With a few more clouds, temperatures will have a tough time only warming into the 40s.
On Monday and extending through Tuesday morning, forecasting will get really interesting around here. A storm system is expected to pull out of the southwest Sunday night, and move into eastern Colorado, Monday morning. Setting the stage for a possible winter storm on Monday across Greater Nebraska. Now were still a few days away and I am not going to start throwing out snow totals this far out. But my hunch is, since will be over the freezing mark by a couple degrees Monday afternoon, we might start off as a rain snow mix, before changing to all snow Monday night. It also looks like winds may be an issue, too.
We’re still a couple days out from this possible weather event on Monday, and the forecast will change. So keep up to date with the weather this weekend so you’re not in for a huge surprise on Monday morning.
Meteorologist Tara Moore will be here this weekend with updates Saturday night after football game, and Sunday night at 10pm.
