The wind lightens up a bit heading into the Thursday morning commute, but you'll want a coat! We'll enjoy some sunshine to start the day with lows in the upper 20s.
We don't warm up as much Thursday afternoon, but it will be around average for February highs. Temperatures will reach the upper 30s to near 40 with a mix of sunshine and clouds.
Thursday evening will be quiet, but a round of snow will start to move into northeast Nebraska around the Thursday evening commute. It then slowly expands southeast into the Omaha metro, but may not reach the city until after 10pm. The bulk of the snow will be south of I-80 by 4 am, and most of the snow is out of our region before the Friday morning commute starts.
Some of the snow will melt as it falls on the relatively warm ground from our recent sunshine and warm weather. Totals will likely be from 0-1 inch across most of the area, including in Omaha. A few spots could go slightly over an inch in the light blue area on the map below, but it won't be common. Areas from northeast Nebraska and across the Missouri River into Monona County have the best chance of getting over an inch of snow. While this won't be a lot of snow, the timing could make for a slower than normal morning commute.
Friday will be the coldest day of the week with highs in the mid 30s and mostly cloudy skies. Gusty winds will make it a chillier day, too. Lows heading into Friday night will dip in the mid 10s.
We start to warm back up over the weekend with a lot of sunshine, quickly melting the snow away. Saturday will be breezy with near 40 degrees followed by upper 40s on Sunday.
We keep warming up early next week! Presidents Day will be in the low 50s with a few clouds.
Tuesday looks even better with mid 50s and a mix of sunshine and clouds.
