If we can get through tonight and one more day of bad weather tomorrow, the weather news beginning this weekend is looking much better.
After this morning’s snow around North Platte on northward, we didn’t see much in the way of snow this afternoon, but we did have lots of wind as winds gusted up and over 40mph across Greater Nebraska. The wind will continue tonight and tomorrow, and as low pressure over Iowa begins to move southwestward overnight, bands of snow will back westward so areas from North Platte on north and east can expect to see at least some snow.
From Lincoln county northward to western Chery county, anywhere from a trace to 2 inches is possible. From eastern Cherry county to Custer County, 2 to 4 inches could fall in some of the heavier snow bands. And further northeast around Ainsworth and Butte, 4 inches or more will fall as those areas will be in the heaviest snow bands for a longer length of time. Areas like Ogallala and Imperial may see little if any snow at all.
The gusty winds will compound matters as blowing and drifting snow will cause reduced visibilities and travel problems so be careful, especially if you need to go outside in areas east of North Platte. The snow will end from west to east during Friday, and by Saturday, we will finally break out into a fair weather pattern that will last several days.
Stay tuned to News 2 for updates as they are
