More Light Snow

A Winter Weather Advisory was issued for portions of extreme eastern Nebraska, western Iowa, and extreme southeast South Dakota until Midnight tonight. This was issued for both snow and blowing snow that is occurring across these areas, with a band of light to occasionally moderate snow is continuing to fall over these areas. Total accumulations of a half-inch to an inch is expected, although some higher amounts may fall if this band continues over the same area for a few hours. Regardless, winds of 20-30 mph will create blowing snow conditions across many of the roadways and create slick and hazardous travel conditions (especially over secondary roads).  Snowfall will continue through the night across much of the northern Plains where various winter advisories and warnings have been issued. Additional flurries and occasional light snow showers are possible further south into areas of northern KS/MO, but accumulations are not likely.

The northwest winds will continue to push colder air into the Plains states, leaving temperatures below normal for the area through Wednesday ahead of our next storm system. Details on our work week temperatures and more information on our potential for a mid-week storm for areas of the central Plains.
