3 THINGS TO KNOW:
- Wintry mix Friday afternoon could create some slick spots
- Weekend gets warmer
- Dry & mild for next week
FORECAST:
As of 12 pm, light freezing drizzle has moved into northeast Nebraska. This will slide southeast this afternoon through Nebraska, arriving in Omaha after 3 pm. The precip type will be mixed in the metro; it likely begins as some freezing drizzle or sleet before switching to light snow as the sun sets. It's out of the metro by 10 pm, and we are dry for the rest of the night.
Since most of this will be light, road crews may be able to keep up with major streets during the PM commute. It's the side streets & parking lots that may become slick. Take extra caution on the roads this afternoon. If you come up on a wet spot, treat it like it's icy and slow down. Historically, it's systems like these that cause the most headaches, so keep updated with the forecast.
A warm-up commences this weekend with highs returning to the 40s on Saturday. Sunday gets a bit warmer, into the upper 40s, aided by a southerly breeze.
We then arrive at the low 50s into next week, and hold there with lots of sunshine.
After Friday, dry weather will reign for the next week, with the earliest chance of any precipitation returning to Nebraska and Iowa is late next week.
