Our stormy period continues with yet another area of low pressure taking aim on Greater Nebraska.
The snow of today was caused by the low that has been plaguing the region since Sunday night. It is now located over Iowa and is weakening. Unfortunately, a new low is forming over north-central Oklahoma, and this low will absorb the Iowa low and become quite potent as it moves northeastward toward northeast Kansas/northwest Missouri tomorrow morning. Occasional snow will continue tonight into tomorrow as the two lows combine. It will also become windy later tonight and especially tomorrow, and wind gusts could approach 40mph at times.
A heavy band of snow will form to the northwest of the new low, and where this sets up it could cause several inches of snow. Right now, it appears that the greatest threat for heavy snow is over central and eastern Nebraska, where even some rain will fall as temperatures will be a bit milder. However, the low will meander or stall tomorrow night through Friday morning, and the heavier band may begin to move westward so snow may increase especially across the eastern parts of our viewing area later tomorrow through Friday morning.
This storm will be monitored for any shifts in track of the heaviest snow, so please stay tuned to News 2 in case anything changes.
Mike
