Wednesday Forecast (10/28)

Looking to be a wet day in the North Platte area on Wednesday. Highs will be in the mid 40s with winds out of the East 10 to 20mph... T-Storms are possible east of North Platte on Wednesday afternoon, some of these storms may become severe... Highs will be around 55-60 for the Broken Bow and Lexington Areas. Colder HWY 61 and west... And this is where we land on the snow topic...

Snow will spread into the Panhandle (West of Big Springs) on Wednesday Morning and Wednesday Afternoon. By Wednesday Afternoon im looking at a 9 alarm snowstorm taking place from Big Springs west. Travel maybe severely impacted by Wednesday Afternoon. Please be prepared for I-80 and I-76 to be possibly closed starting Early Wednesday afternoon.

Wednesday Night I am looking for the snow to start to spread into the Ogallala, Tryon, Mullen Areas and westward. And by Thursday AM im looking for the snow to start moving into the North Platte area.

As for snowfall totals by Friday AM, I am looking for 1 to 2 feet of snow in the Panhandle and Eastern Colorado, this includes the Big Springs, Lewellen, Chappel and Oshkosh areas. 6 to 12 inches of snow for Ogallala, Arthur, Tryon, Mullen, Hyannis and Western Cherry County. And about 2-5 inches for the North Platte area. This is all subject to change, depending on change over times, and more importanly, the track of the low! For example, a 30 to 40 mile eastward track would put North Platte in possibly double digit snowfall.

Stay tuned to News 2 on this winter storm...

If it ends up being snow, we could have some major snowfall in the area on Thursday and Friday... Best bet is to stay tuned for the latest weather forecasts... If you have travel plans west of North Platte starting late Wednesday please be prepared for possible blizzard conditions.

Weekend Forecast

Saturday's looking like a great day all around... Highs in the 60s with partly sunny skies. If you're heading to the Huskers game not bad at all also, with temps in the 50s during the game. Saturday night into Sunday we have a chance of rain and snow. Cooler temps with highs only in the 40s.

Friday Weather

Friday not looking bad. But with the snow on the ground that will limit high temps... I'll go with a high temp around 45 with a NW wind around 5-10mph. The weekend, well we have seen better weekends. Will have high temps on Saturday in the low 50s with a slight chance of rain on Saturday Afternoon. A little bit of a stronger wave pushes through Saturday night and Sunday, which will bring us a better chance of rain or snow and cooler temps with highs only in the 40s on Sunday.

Take care

Snow...

Snowy conditions on tap for you're day Thursday. About 1-3 inches of snow possible for the North Platte area. More South and East... Less North and West... Temps struggling to get into the mid 30s with a strong north/northeast 20-30mph with higher gusts...

Enjoy the snow!
