Another nice night on tap for Greater Nebraska for Tuesday night, with mainly clear skies, temperatures this evening will be in the 40s and 50s, and then for the overnight Tuesday, temperatures will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s.

Wednesday, we will have a cold front push through the area; no precipitation is expected with the passage of this front. The only thing it will do is shift the winds from the west to the northwest during the afternoon. Highs will still be nice for this time of year, in the lower 60s.

Thursday will still be dry, but I believe we will have more clouds than sun. Highs will be in the lower 50s. Thursday night starts a very active weather period that Greater Nebraska hasn’t seen in a while.

Let’s start with Thursday night & Friday

A Storm system is expected to move into eastern Colorado overnight Thursday into Friday morning; this will spread snow into Nebraska. So Friday morning expect snow, and then some areas (especially south of I-80) to rise above freezing (32F) which will change the snow over to rain. Then the rain will switch back over to snow Friday night and very early Saturday morning. Still a little tough to pin down snowfall accumulations, but please continue to watch, as I fine tune this forecast as we head through the end of the week.

Our next storm system takes aim at us on Sunday & Monday, as of right now this looks to be the stronger of the two storm systems that will affect us. I am a little concern with this storm system. Models have slowed this storm system down, and have put us on the cold side of this system, on the warm side of this system there may be a major severe weather outbreak from KS down to TX. This may set us up for a major snowfall event. Like the system on Friday, there will be some changes to the forecast. So please stay tuned to KNOP.
