With the wild flowers blooming in the fields and trees it’s hard to believe that parts of the KNOP viewing area are under a Winter Storm Watch. There is a slight chance of T-Storms overnight then heavy rain will develop and continue into Thursday AM.
Winds will start to pick up Thursday AM and remain strong through Thursday AM. The snow starts to kick in Thursday night across some areas; near Blizzard conditions are possible north of Stapleton. The rain/snow and wind continues into Friday. Stay tuned to News 2 for the latest on the spring snow storm.

Your Tuesday night calls for partly cloudy conditions with lows in the 40s. Wednesday highs will be warm for one more day, with Highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s. There is an outside chance of a t-storm late Wednesday afternoon. Fire danger will be high west of North Platte.
Showers and t-storms roll in Wednesday night; rain could be heavy at times. Winds will also pick up and by Thursday AM may gust near 50 to 60mph out of the ESE along with showers and t-storms. Rain will start to mix over to snow for the NW areas of the KNOP viewing area Thursday Afternoon.
Thursday night looks to be a real mess around here; rain will be changing to snow in northwest NEB. Moderate snow fall accumulations are possible north and northwest of Ogallala and North Platte. With the strong winds there may be blizzard conditions at times.
Snow and wind continue into Friday. Hopefully Ill have some snowfall numbers Wednesday.

Sunny conditions Tuesday afternoon, highs will be in the 70s and winds will be out of the south/southeast 5-15. High fire danger west of North Platte, a Red Flag Warning is in effect for these areas through Tuesday evening.
I am tracking a pretty big storm system, which could bring a chance of storms on Wednesday late afternoon, and then possibly bringing some wintry pre-cip to some areas starting Thursday night. Strong winds are also likely. Join me this afternoon and tonight on News 2 for the latest.

First half on the week = Nice
Second half= oo no
That’s how the week is going to break down.
Monday night look for partly cloudy skies, lows will be in the mid-30s in the Platte River Valley and upper 30s elsewhere.
Tuesday has sunny skies with highs ranging in the mid 70s to the north and northeast, lower 80s for the south and southwest areas of the KNOP viewing area. Tuesday night lows with mostly clear skies will be in the low to mid 40s. Winds will be out of the south/southeast through the next 24 hours 5 to 15mph.
Wednesday will sneak in another warm day, but there is an outside chance of a t-storm. Highs will be near 80.
Wednesday night through Saturday is where things become interesting across the area. A strong system pulls into the region, with the chance of rain increasing overnight Wednesday. Thursday looks cool, wet and windy with highs only in the 50s.
Thursday night, Friday and Saturday, depending on how things play out, someone in the KNOP viewing area might get an unwanted treat, that treat is an early may snowstorm. Combine that with the strong winds; might create near blizzard conditions north and west of Arthur. Stay tuned to news 2 for the latest weather updates.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 1am (CDT), 12am (MDT) for areas south of HWY 92. Strong to severe thunderstorms will continue during the evening hours with the main threat being large hail, in fact I’ve already have had quarter size hail reports coming out of areas south and west of North Platte. There’s still an outside chance of a tornado, but as we head into the night I think our tornado chances will be diminishing. But still remember severe thunderstorms sometimes produce tornados with out little warning.
As we move into the overnight I think will become a heavy rain threat. Also look for the wind to pick up during the overnight. By Friday morning; winds could be screaming out of the northwest up to 20-30 mph and may gust up to 50mph. Also (not what you want to hear) but a few snow flakes may mix in with the rain north of HWY 2.
Stay tuned to news 2 for the latest weather updates.

A major winter storm looks to take aim on the high plains Wednesday night through Saturday morning. A winter storm watch is in effect for areas north and west of Farnam, NE. That includes the cites of North Platte and Ogallala, from 7am Thursday and 7am Friday.
Tuesday night, look for mostly cloudy skies with lows in the lower 30s, winds will be out of the southeast around 10.
Wednesday is when things start to become interesting across the region. First off a wind advisory is in effect for areas north and west of Paxton. Winds by Wednesday afternoon may gust up to 50mph. Rain moves into the area during the afternoon and may mix with snow west of Big Springs. Highs will be in the mid to upper 40s.

Thursday is when I think things really start to go down hill across the region. Rain and snow will mix over to all snow Thursday afternoon with temperatures steady to slowly falling through the 30s. Winds I think take a break Thursday afternoon, and then pick back up by Thursday night when blizzard conditions will start to play in. Blizzard conditions may last into Friday, by late Friday afternoon 6 inches or more of snow is possible. Light snow will linger into Saturday morning then clear out Saturday afternoon. Then it’s dry, sunny and mild starting Sunday.
This has the potential to become a major weather event for the region; travel may become severely impacted across Colorado, Nebraska and South Dakota. If you have live stock or young animals please plan to move them to shelter by Thursday.

Sunday, a chance of rain comes back into the forecast with highs in the 50s.
Monday & early next week, will start off with sunny skies, but come Tuesday and Wednesday, models are pushing a pretty nice storm system in here. Might be our first severe weather event of the year, will just have to wait and see how that all pans out.
But speaking of severe weather, next week is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Nebraska. This is a great time for you to go over your severe weather action plan, such as what would I do if there was a Tornado Warning issued for my area, will have more in the next week.
