By early Saturday morning, rain and snow will start to move into the region. Snow will be more common along and north of I-80, Omaha likely starts as snow, then sees a change to rain later in the day, and mainly rain the farther south you live. This will end from northwest to southeast in the afternoon, but could linger into the evening for northwest Missouri and cities in western Iowa. It will also be windy, reducing visibility as the snow falls and making our highs in the mid 30s feel even colder.
Snow totals for most cities, including Omaha, will be from nothing up to 2 inches, but roads will likely just be wet or slushy. Slightly higher totals of 2-4 inches are possible northeast of the metro in cities like Denison, Harlan, Carroll, and Atlantic.
Clocks spring forward Saturday night, which is also a good time to check the batteries in your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and weather radios.
The cold and windy weather continues Sunday with highs in the mid 30s, but skies will clear in the afternoon, letting in more sunshine.
The wind will be lighter Monday, but it will still be cold with mid 30s and mostly sunny skies.
We get a nice warm-up into the middle of next week with upper 40s Tuesday, followed by a run for 60 on Wednesday.
This warm-up brings a chance for rain towards the middle of the workweek. We could see rain start late Wednesday and linger into Thursday. As this system is far out, we encourage you to keep updated with us.
