3 THINGS TO KNOW:
- Light snow Saturday morning
- Briefly frigid Saturday night
- Back in the 40s next week
FORECAST:
Another cold front will reach Omaha on Friday, kicking up the winds and sending in more arctic air for the weekend. Friday's highs will be in the upper 20s. We'll drop into the low 10s for Friday night.
Light snow moves very late Friday night, around midnight, and lasts until early Saturday afternoon. Most of the accumulating snow will stay north of Omaha, with highest amounts see on a line from Sioux City to Des Moines.
As of 12pm Friday, we have made some changes to the forecast and not everyone will see snow. Areas north of the metro have the best chance to get minor accumulations of around 1-2". The farthest north parts of our viewing area, near Wayne/Pender and Denison/Carroll will see 2-3" of snow. In between this and the metro, there will be a sharp drop-off in snow amounts. If you are along and south of I-80, including Omaha, it now looks like we will get very little snow at all, less than 1".
Highs on Saturday will be in the 10s with lows below 0 on Saturday night. Wind chills will be around -10 to -15 for Sunday morning. By Sunday, skies will be mostly sunny and we are back to near 20 degrees.
Warmer weather will return early next week, and we may even have several days above normal. Temperatures will be back in the 40s by Monday and Tuesday. There is a chance we hit 50 degrees on Wednesday. Omaha's average high temperature for mid-December is 39 degrees. There is a small chance of rain in the middle of next week.
