The wind backs off some overnight as our next cold front slowly starts to push southeast through the region. Northeast Nebraska will likely already be seeing a wintry mix of rain, snow, and a few pockets of freezing rain for the Tuesday morning commute. Omaha likely starts Tuesday in the mid 30s as some light rain starts to move in. While we should just see some wet roads in Omaha, if the cold front arrives faster than expected, things could freeze up faster.
Temperatures then fall during the day Tuesday, with a wintry mix possible by late morning across the metro, which could include some pockets of freezing rain. We then make the full switch to snow from the northwest to the southeast for the afternoon. The snow will still be around for the evening commute, but quickly ends Tuesday night.
Winds around 40 mph will blow the snow around as it falls, reducing visibility at times. Snow totals will be highest up towards northeast Nebraska, where 1-3 inch totals are possible. Cities along and south of I-80, including Omaha, will see between very little up to one inch.
Th sunshine returns Wednesday, but it will be cold and breezy. Highs will be in the upper 20s.
The wind gets stronger Thursday, but also shifts back out of the south, blowing warmer weather back in. Thursday will be in the low 40s with a lot of sunshine. We keep warming Friday with some extra wind, warming us into the low 50s.
Another cold front arrives heading into the weekend. It could bring a couple spotty showers to dodge Friday night, but mainly cools us down for the weekend.
Saturday will be partly cloudy with mid 30s. Sunday will be closer to 40.
