Some Light Snow Tuesday night will give way to clear skies Overnight Tuesday. Cold conditions will also move in, low temps will be at or slightly below zero. Wednesday and Christmas day look dry with highs in the 30s. Friday is our next chance of snow with the next storm system rolling in. That will throw a wrench into the warm-up until Sunday. Then Temperatures take off into the 40s and 50s with sunshine Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Take care, and have a great Christmas.

Some on and off light snow through out Monday night and Tuesday. Snowfall accumulations across most of the area should be on the order of an inch or less. 2-4 inches of snow is possible east of the tri-cites through Tuesday night. Another cold shot of air comes flying in for Tuesday night and Wednesday. Then temperatures start to re-bound just in-time for Christmas.

Brrr Another Cold Night!
Temps will fall to around 10 to 12 below zero Sunday night, the good thing is that there will be no wind so that’s at least some good news. During the overnight Monday temperatures (especially south and west of North Platte) will be on the slow but steady rebound.
Dry conditions for Monday, and then another chance of Snow for Tuesday, as of right now no snow accumulation is expected.

Winter Weather
Snow sleet and freezing rain will continue into the night time hours on Thursday. Snowfall accumulations of 1-3” (possibly 4-5” locally) in the North Platte, Ogallala and Broken Bow Areas. Head down towards Lexington, Kearney, Grand Island and Hastings about 3-6” of snow is expected. Over towards Lincoln and Omaha about 6-9” of snow is expected, lesser amounts if mixed precipitation becomes an issue, cutting down on snowfall totals. None the less the farther east you head, the more of a travel headache you will have. But not like travel will be a breeze around North Platte. Please use caution while traveling anywhere in the state of Nebraska Thursday night.
Ice will also be an issue as well. South of Hastings/Mccook up to a quarter to a half inch of ice is possible. In southeast Nebraska, a half inch of ice or more is possible.
After a brief break on Friday, snow and bitter cold return to Nebraska. Wind chills Saturday night may reach -40 below.

More Winter Weather On The Way.
For the latest warnings and advisories please look at the bottom right hand side of the weather page.
Snow, Sleet and Freezing Rain look to move into Nebraska by lunch time Thursday. As far as ice accumulations go I’m only looking for .10 to .25 inch of ice. Not too much to bring down trees and power lines. But enough to bring slick travel to the area. So please be careful if you’re traveling across the state. Snowfall, from about Ogallala to North Platte and Broken Bow north I am looking for about 1 to 4 inches. For the city of North Platte it’s going to be a tricky forecast Thursday. If we get more sleet/freezing rain vs. snow will be closer to 1 inch. If we get more snow, it might be closer to the 2 to 4 inch snowfall.
Eastern Nebraska Travel
The farther east you travel Thursday afternoon the more of a mess you will be getting into. Starting Thursday night, a major ice storm will take hold across Southeast Nebraska into the Falls City area. Up to a ½ inch of ice or more is possible. Tree and power line damage is possible in this area. North of Omaha up to 3-6 inches of snow is possible.
Breather Friday
Sunny and dry conditions take place on Friday with highs in the upper 20s.
Could It Get Any Colder Than Last Weekend ?
Sure why not? Saturday an arctic cold front is set to blast through the state, the good news and I’m hoping this stays like this, there won’t be much snow with this event. So there won’t be a Blizzard tied into this event like we had last weekend. Could we see an inch or two? Sure. But the main story will be that temperatures will be dropping like a rock on Saturday, combine with the strong winds, wind chills will be dangerously cold again. Sunday highs don’t get above zero for most of us and Sunday night temps will go to near -15 to 20 below.
Happy Winter

Winter Is Here!
Mostly Clear skies for Tuesday night, winds by midnight will switch to the south/southwest which should keep temperatures from not falling to much below zero. I am looking for a low in North Platte around 1 above. Wednesday looks ok with sunny skies and temperatures in the 20s. Since there’s no weather issues Wednesday you should go and see Kendra and I at Walmart at noon and Beatriz and Ava will be there at 1pm ringing the bell for the Salvation Army to help them get to $109,000 goal.
Thursday things get interesting here as a low pressure system swings into the central plains from the southwest. A mixed precipitation event of snow, sleet and freezing rain is possible, especially south of a North Platte/Grant line. The good news is I thing the brunt of this system goes to Eastern Nebraska were a major icing event is possible I-80 south into Southeastern Nebraska and accumulating snows are possible for the rest of Eastern Nebraska. So if you have any travel plans to Lincoln or Omaha Thursday, please be aware that travel could become tricky out that way. Back closer to home I am looking for about 1-3” of snow north of North Platte. South of there sleet and freezing rain will cut down on the totals. But it doesn’t take much ice to make a travel headache. So make sure you tune in Wednesday night for the latest forecast update.
After a break on Friday, Saturday another arctic surge comes into Nebraska. Saturday we have a chance of snow and the temperatures go the wrong way in a hurry. Saturday night’s lows look to be in the 8 to 14 below zero range with dangerously cold wind chills. Sunday, even though will have sunny skies…temperature will likely stay below zero.

Another Bitter Cold Night!
Temps will dip to around 5 to 12 below then start rising as we head towards the morning as clouds will be on the increase and the snow will arrive by Tuesday AM. Snowfall amounts look like about 1” in North Platte, less west and closer to 2” in Broken Bow/Lexington. If you’re headed towards Lincoln or Omaha, be prepared for slow travel and about 3-6 inches. Skies will clear out Tuesday night and temperatures will once again go below zero.
Wednesday we catch a break, then its back to the snow Thursday and early Friday. I had a few issues with the Wednesday Night to Friday AM timeframe of my forecast with timing issues on this storm system. One model (GEM) held it off until later Thursday and early Friday, while another model (GFS) was gun hoe to start bringing this in Wed Night and out of here Thursday Night. That said I’m going to go a slight chance of snow starting Wed Night and tapering off Friday AM. Snow fall amounts are tough to judge at this point. But snow accumulation is possible for the day time on Thursday. Please check back in with updates on the forecast.
Another arctic blast is looking to blow in here on the weekend. Highs will be in the single digits come Sunday.
