We do that with the caveat that short term models still indicate the potential for some higher totals in the Lincoln area. At this time it looks like the Lincoln area could see 4 to 6″. There will be a very tight cutoff from larger snowfall numbers to lesser ones, particularly into southeastern parts of the state. The heaviest band of snow - 12″ to 16″ - is expected to set up from northeastern Colorado into parts of southwestern and central parts of the state - including Imperial, North Platte, Lexington, Broken Bow, and Albion. The snowfall forecast offers a wide swath of heavy snow across a good portion of the state where many areas could see 8″ to 12″ of snow. Snow will spread across the state through the day on Wednesday, ending from west to east by late Wednesday night into early Thursday. This transition will be key to our potential snowfall amounts - if it happens sooner, we could see more snow and less ice, if it happens later, we could see less snow and more ice. Through the morning that wintry mix will transition to all snow, which could be heavy at times.
By early Wednesday - around drivetime - for Lincoln and southeastern Nebraska, look for a wintry mix of snow, ice, sleet, and rain to impact the area.
The winter weather alerts last through the day on Wednesday and expire from west to east late Wednesday night into early on Thursday morning.Īs a low-pressure system exits Colorado early Wednesday and slides east across Kansas, snow will begin to spread into western Nebraska with snow expanding in coverage and intensity through the overnight hours and into Wednesday morning. These alerts begin to go into effect for western Nebraska on Tuesday evening, with Winter Storm Warnings beginning for Lincoln and eastern Nebraska at 6 AM on Wednesday. Winter Storm Warnings cover almost the entire state with Winter Weather Advisories in place across the far northwest and the far southeastern parts of Nebraska. If you don’t have to venture outside on Wednesday, please don’t! Areas of heavy snow, some light icing, and breezy north and northwest winds will combine to lead to difficult and dangerous travel conditions through the day across almost the entire state.
