Today will be cloudy and colder! Highs will only be in the teens along and north of I-80. Neighborhoods south of I-80 will be a little warmer with low 20s. The wind will be lighter this afternoon, but wind chills will likely only make it into the single digits.
Our next round of snow arrives tonight. As early as 8 or 9, we will start to see a few scattered pockets of snow across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. Around midnight, the snow will become much more widespread, and heavier pockets will start to mix in. The widespread snow will continue through the Wednesday morning commute, likely causing plenty of travel problems.
The snow will stay fairly widespread the rest of Wednesday morning. Around the lunch hour, we'll start to see a few breaks in the snow develop, and it will quickly lighten up and fall apart through the afternoon. While there will still be travel problems for the drive home, all the snow should be on the ground by the Wednesday evening commute.
Snow totals will be lowest north and west of the Omaha metro, where 1-3 inches are possible in Norfolk, Tekamah, and Denison. Farther south, Omaha, Council Bluffs, Columbus, York, Lincoln, Plattsmouth, and Atlantic could see 2-5 inches. Our highest totals will likely be in Nebraska City and cities farther south and east where 3 to 6 inches will be possible.
Temperatures will only reach the middle teens Wednesday, making for a light and fluffy snow, which won't include much beneficial moisture.
Thursday starts below zero, and for a third afternoon in a row, we only hit the teens in the afternoon... but at least it will come with a lot more sunshine.
Friday will be windy and warmer with mid 30s for Valentine's Day. Clouds take back over for the day, and we could see the week's third round of snow arrive as early as Friday night. Timing is still unclear, so that snow could hold off until early Saturday morning. Snow totals would just be a guess this far away, but for most of us, the totals will be smaller than what we see midweek.
Saturday afternoon will be mostly cloudy and windy with mid 20s.
We get some sunshine on Sunday, but it will be colder again with highs in the teens.
Monday will be mostly cloudy with mid 20s. There's also a small chance for some light snow.
