A cold front moves into the region tonight, kicking off a few isolated showers and storms, but a lot of us will be dry. Cooler air then starts to blow in. The widespread showers and storms don't move in from the southwest until after 4 am, arriving in Omaha just before the morning commute.
The rain will continue at times through Friday afternoon, but in northeast Nebraska where it will be colder, wet snow could start to mix in. It will be chilly and breezy with highs in the mid 40s. The rain starts to become more scattered by the end of the day, but a lot of our high school football games likely get hit by a couple showers.
Rain totals could reach two inches towards northwest Missouri, with smaller totals as you head farther northwest. Omaha likely gets between 0.5 to 1.5 inches, and northeast Nebraska could stay under half an inch.
After midnight, the rain starts to mix with snow, and eventually changes into wet snow. Some of this lingers into Saturday morning. There is growing consensus that we could see a slushy accumulation between 1 and 3 inches.
Skies clear Saturday afternoon, letting in more sunshine. It will be breezy and not as cold, with highs in the mid 50s.
With more sunshine, we make it into the low 60s Sunday. We keep the sunshine and low 60s for Monday.
Election Day Tuesday brings more clouds and a small chance for some light rain. It will be breezy and warmer, with highs in the mid 60s.
Light rain is possible again Wednesday, but we stay in the mid 60s.
