Snow is Done, but the Cold Weather Sticks Around

Icy roads possible for Tuesday morning

Drier air has now moved in, ending the snowfall for the Omaha region. Snow totals have ranged from 1" to 4", with the heaviest totals seen in parts of east-central Nebraska.

The main concern for Monday night and Tuesday morning will be regarding snowmelt on roads re-freezing into ice on pavement, and other surfaces. Lows tonight will be in the low to mid 20s, so any standing water will freeze. Winds will also be gusty at times.

BLIZZARD WARNINGS have been removed for the Omaha viewing area, but remain in effect for South Dakota and north-central Nebraska.

Tuesday will remain breezy and we will see another rough of spotty snow showers throughout the day. Snow totals will be under 1" for most locations that see the flakes. Highs will be in the low 30s, mainly below freezing, which means ice on pavement may linger into Wednesday.

The storm system finally exits Wednesday, and we'll see a few peeks of sunshine, helping temperatures warm back in the low to mid 30s, but we stay breezy.

We get even colder heading into the second half of the week, with highs in the upper 20s and lows in the teens, and partly to mostly cloudy skies.
