Rain showers will be scattered overnight, and as temperatures cool to near freezing, some of the rain will change into wet snow. The wintry mix of rain and snow will continue into Friday morning as we drop into the low 30s with breezy winds.

Most cities likely won't see much snow stick to the ground, but where it does, it likely stays under an inch, melting quickly. Colder objects like your car or backyard deck have a better chance of seeing some snow stick.

Rain totals will vary a lot across the region, but the best chance of getting over 0.5" of rain will be south of Omaha. Most will see around 0.1" to 0.2" of rainfall.

After some mixed rain and snow for Friday morning, cities along and north of I-80 should be dry by lunch on Friday, but some of the leftover rain and snow could last into the early afternoon south of I-80. The rest of Friday will be mostly cloudy, windy, and colder, with highs in the mid 40s.

The wind lightens up for Saturday, and the sunshine returns! We will warm into the low 50s.

Clocks "spring forward" Saturday night, which is also a good time to check or replace the batteries in your weather radio, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke alarms.

The warm-up continues Sunday with low 60s and a lot of sunshine.

Our best chance of getting back to the low 70s will be Monday with mostly sunny skies.

We'll make another run for some low 70s Tuesday, but there will be a few more clouds and a small chance for rain late in the day.

Wednesday will be partly cloudy with upper 60s and another chance for rain late in the day and also on Thursday.
