Chance for light snow St. Patrick’s Day in Omaha area

OVER THE NEXT WEEK. SAID IT EARLIER. BUT TODAY THE LAST WINTER LIKE DAY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. AND IT IS AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY HERE ON SAINT PATRICK’S DAY. SO CHANCE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT SNOW. REALLY OUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY IS BETWEEN 1 AND 4 P.M. HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO. DOES IT LOOK LIKE A LOT IF WE GET ANY ACCUMULATION HERE IN THE METRO, MAYBE UP TO A DUSTING? MOST ANYWHERE FROM A TRACE TO HALF AN INCH. SO COULD SEE SOME SLICK WET ROAD POTENTIAL WHERE WE GET THAT SNOW COMING DOWN. BUT DRY AIR GOING TO BE THE BIG LIMITING FACTOR, MAY PREVENT US FROM SEEING THAT SNOWFALL. ALTOGETHER, OR REDUCING THE AMOUNT WE SEE. BUT SNOW FORECAST HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO AGAIN, TRACE TO A DUSTING ENOUGH TO COAT THE GROUND. BETTER CHANCE TO SEE UP TO HALF AN INCH MORE LIKELY. NORTH AND EAST OF THE METRO. TEKAMAH OUT TOWARD CARROLL IN THE ATLANTA AREA. SO AS WE HEAD THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON, CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE SNOWFLAKES. SO EVEN BEFORE THAT, NEED THE HEAVY JACKET. IT’S A COLD START THOUGH. CALM TEMPERATURES LOWER TEENS TO START THE DAY BY NOON. WE’RE IN THE 20S, BUT THE SOUTH WIND COULD BE GUSTING 2020 FIVE MILES PER HOUR. SO THAT’S GOING TO MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COLDER. STILL MAINLY DRY FOR THE NOON HOUR, BUT BY 4:00, IF YOU’RE OUT CELEBRATING SAINT PATRICK’S DAY OR HEADING HOME FROM WORK AND SCHOOL, COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT SNOW ALONG WITH THAT BREEZE. GOING TO BE FEELING CHILLY WITH THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S. THERE’S I-80 NEAR HIGHWAY 370 FROM RACHEL CLAY SKYCAM ROADS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD TEN DEGREES RIGHT NOW. FEELS LIKE TEN WITH A VERY LIGHT EAST BREEZE AT THE MOMENT AT EPPLEY AIRFIELD. SO TEMPERATURES, TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS. YOU SEE MOST AREAS. NOT MUCH OF A WIND CHILL FACTOR, BUT A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE. SEVEN BELOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE IN CARROLL. TWO ABOVE IN NORFOLK AND COLUMBUS RIGHT NOW, BUT AT LEAST THROUGH THE COLDEST PART OF THE MORNING, THE WIND, THE LIGHTEST CLOUD COVER INCREASING. HERE OUT WEST, YOU SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW IN SOUTH DAKOTA. SO THIS IS HEADING OUR WAY AND WE’RE JUST WATCHING IF THAT AIR CAN SATURATE IN TIME AS WE SEE THAT WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY BETWEEN 1 AND 4 P.M. AS WE GO THROUGH STORM PREDICTOR, CLOUDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE BULLISH MODELS GETTING THAT SNOW INTO THE METRO. NOON 1:00. SO LIGHT SNOW AGAIN NEAR NORTH AND EAST OF THE METRO AREA. THERE’S 3:00 COULD BE WARM ENOUGH WHERE WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF MIX OR POSSIBLY A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN OUT TOWARDS COLUMBUS AND NORFOLK. AND THEN BY THE TIME WE’RE ABOVE FREEZING, THE SNOW IS OUT OF HERE. SO DRYING UP FOR THE EVENING DRIVE, BUT COULD HAVE A LITTLE SNOW ON SOME OF THE ROADWAYS AS YOU DRIVE HOME. AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CLIMB INTO THE 40S DOWN SOUTHWEST OF THE METRO, OVERNIGHT WARM FRONT PASSES THROUGH. SO TOMORROW, STARTING OFF IN THE 20S AND 30S, AND THEN BY THE AFTERNOON WILL BE AROUND 70 DEGREES. SO THE BIG WARM UP IS ON TOP TEN DAY POTENTIAL. THURSDAY MID 70S. AND THEN WELL, SPRING BEGINS FRIDAY, BUT WE’RE FLIPPING THE SWITCH TO SUMMER AS LOW TO MID 80S POSSIBLE. RECORD HIGHS FRIDA
