The heaviest of the rain is behind us, but the storm is far from over!
After well over an inch of rain fell over southwestern Nebraska since yesterday, the precipitation became more spotty today as low pressure meandered over Kansas. However, streams will continue to rise through Wednesday so watch for some minor flooding, especially along the North Platte River where a Flood Warning is in effect beginning Wednesday morning.
The low will move northeastward into Iowa by Wednesday morning, and the threat of precipitation will continue overnight into Wednesday. Since colder air has now moved into the region, more snow than rain can be expected overnight, with a mix during Wednesday.
A new low will form over central Kansas by Wednesday night, and by Thursday will have absorbed the Iowa low as it spins over northwestern Missouri. This low will become quite potent, and winds will increase Wednesday night and by Thursday windy conditions will prevail. Precipitation will continue across Greater Nebraska as the low strengthens, but there is some question as to whether the precipitation (snow or a mix of rain and snow) will be light or perhaps a bit heavier causing some accumulation of snow. Highs through Thursday will be in the 30’s with lows in the 20’s, so please watch for slippery spots both tonight and Wednesday night. Stay tuned to News 2 for the latest on the storm.
