MCHS– As it moves across the region over the next twelve to eighteen hours, a cold front will bring with it gusty winds from the north-northwest, pockets of snow showers that are primarily light, and another wave of chilly air.

Even though snowfall from this system will continue to be rather low for most places, some localized spots may receive an inch or two. The combination of these possible snow “bursts” and those gusty winds, as well as a sudden drop in temperatures behind the passing front, may produce some hazardous travel conditions for some time.

These conditions may include flash freezing, which occurs when wet roads and sidewalks freeze as temperatures drop quickly behind the front, as well as some brief reductions in visibility. In a few areas, there is also a possibility of light rain falling before the possibility of light snowfall.

Some people may experience morning temperatures that “feel like” they are below zero, particularly in the northern and northeastern parts of Nebraska on both Wednesday and Thursday. This is because colder temperatures are making their way back into the region. During the daytime hours of Wednesday and Thursday, the majority of the coverage area will be dominated by high temperatures in the 20s and 30s.

By the end of the week, a more significant moisture-maker may appear, and that prospective system will be coupled with a threat of mixed precipitation. As we come closer to the end of the work week, there are still a lot of questions that remain regarding the weather event that occurred on Friday.

Therefore, stay tuned for updates. Although there is a possibility that some precipitation from that system could continue into Saturday morning, the majority of your weekend will be dry, and by Sunday, temperatures should have returned to a more moderate range, falling into the 40s and entering the lower 50s.
