Here's when snow could slow down your holiday travel in Nebraska and Iowa

Getting colder each day

It stays a little breezy early this afternoon, but the wind has shifted out of the south, blowing in some slightly warmer weather. Highs will be in the mid 40s. We'll be mostly cloudy the rest of the day.

It stays mostly cloudy overnight as we drop down into the upper 20s and low 30s for Wednesday morning. There could also be a couple small pockets of rain and snow early in the day, especially south of Omaha, but most of us will be dry.

Colder weather then starts to take back over. Wednesday afternoon will be partly cloudy with a high near 40.

For those traveling, it doesn't look like there will be any major travel issues across Nebraska or Iowa heading into Thanksgiving. If you're flying through Denver, there will likely be some snow at times Tuesday and Wednesday, which could slow things down there. To our south, Kansas City will likely see rain Wednesday. Some of that rain will stretch up towards Chicago late Wednesday.

Back here in Omaha, Thanksgiving will be partly cloudy and colder. Highs will be in the mid 30s, which is about 10 degrees below average.

Friday will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 30s.

There is still a lot of uncertainty with Saturday's forecast, but it could bring some travel problems. There's at least a chance for a relatively thin area of snow to slice through our part of the Heartland. Timing and exact location is still not known, but by the end of Saturday there could be an area about 3-4 counties wide with an inch of snow on the ground. It's also still possible this misses our area, so we need to wait and see how things come together the next couple of days.

Snow or no snow Saturday, it will be colder. Highs will be in the upper 20s.

Sunday could start in the single digits, even here in Omaha. Thankfully, the afternoon brings a lot of sunshine, but it only warms us into the upper 20s.

We stay mostly sunny Monday with mid 30s.
