Today was a cloudy and cool day with some intermittent light snow and rain over many areas, which began to evolve into a rainy afternoon as highs climbed into the upper 30’s to middle 40’s. However, western portions of the Nebraska Panhandle received a substantial snowfall in a few areas, with Kimball reporting 8 ½ inches around mid-afternoon.
The rain will continue through the evening, but begin to mix with and probably change to a bit of snow before ending from west to east during the overnight as lows drop into the 20’s. No significant accumulations are expected and roads should be mostly wet, though some icy spots could develop especially on exposed surfaces such as bridges and overpasses. Also, grassy areas could whiten, and it is not out of the question that a few areas pick up about an inch of snow.
By tomorrow morning, the precipitation will be gone, but some icy spots may remain until temperatures warm above the freezing mark. Friday overall will be partly sunny with highs in the 40’s with a light wind.
The weekend is looking fair and seasonable with highs mainly in the 40’s with partly to mostly sunny skies.
The fair weather will continue into the beginning of next week.
Mike
