Our little "warm-up" continues this afternoon with highs in the low 20s! While nicer, it's still more than 10 degrees below average. We lose our morning sunshine as clouds thicken up this afternoon.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy as we drop down into the single digits for the Thursday morning commute.
Thursday will be a little colder, with highs in the teens, as snow moves back into the region.
Snow will move first into northeast Nebraska late Thursday morning. Early in the afternoon, the snow will expand southeast into the Omaha metro, then reach northwest Missouri closer to 3 p.m. or shortly after. By the evening commute, anyone could still be seeing snow, but it will be more hit and miss at that point. All snow ends early Thursday night.
Snow totals will be around 1-3 inches for the entire region. It will be a light, fluffy snow again, which blows around easily. It will start to get breezy Thursday afternoon, but the strongest wind, between 30-40 mph, will be Thursday night into early Friday morning. This will cause more blowing and drifting... so expect slow travel heading home Thursday and going to work and school Friday morning.
Friday afternoon will be cold and breezy with highs in the low single digits and a lot of sunshine.
Saturday likely starts with near-record cold. The current record low for January 20 is -22, set in 1883. We could be near -20 to start the day.
With a frigid start to the day, we will struggle to get just above zero in the afternoon. It looks mostly sunny, but also breezy.
Stronger winds start to pump in warmer weather from the south on Sunday... and this warmer weather will likely stay with us all next week. Sunday afternoon will be in the upper 20s with a mix of sun and clouds.
We stay breezy Monday as we keep warming up. Highs will be in the mid 30s. It will be mostly cloudy, and we may have to dodge a few spotty pockets of rain.
Tuesday will also be in the mid 30s with some spotty rain to dodge.
