Even with the mostly cloudy sky this afternoon, it will be warmer. Thanks to the wind blowing out of the south, highs will be in the low 40s. By late afternoon, hit-and-miss rain will start to pop up across the region, especially in areas along and north of I-80.
The scattered rain will mainly be north of Omaha early tonight as it switches to scattered snow. The snow will drift south after midnight, with more neighborhoods along and north of I-80 starting to see the snow. That's where most of the snow will stay heading into the Friday morning commute with temperatures in the low 30s.
By the lunch hour Friday, most of the snow will be centered along I-80. As the snow pushes south of I-80 in the afternoon, it will run into warmer weather and change into a rain/snow mix and rain. Friday will also be windy and colder with mid 30s.
Snow totals will be smallest south of Omaha, where very little accumulation is expected. Omaha will likely see closer to an inch, then totals increase farther north. Columbus, Fremont, Tekamah, and Atlantic should come in around 1-3 inches. Our most northern neighborhoods from Norfolk, Onawa, and Denison have the best chance of seeing 2-4 inches.
The sunshine takes over for the weekend, and we start to warm up quickly! Saturday will be in the upper 40s, which is average for early March. Then, we hit the mid 50s on Sunday with mostly sunny skies.
The warm-up continues early next week. Monday will be mostly sunny as we flirt with 70 degrees! We stay in the upper 60s Tuesday with a lot of sunshine.
We get a touch cooler Wednesday, but it will still be nice, with upper 50s and a few clouds.
