Milder Tuesday afternoon, rain, snow chance Wednesday for Omaha area

AND ALREADY THIS AFTERNOON WE’RE QUITE A BIT WARMER. SO THE MELT IS ON HERE ON TUESDAY, WE ARE WARMING UP. HIGHS IN THE 40S, 50S AND 60S. IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH SNOW IS ON THE GROUND, WHERE THE GROUND IS BARE, BARELY ANY SNOW. WE’LL HAVE SOME SPOTS IN THE 60S THIS AFTERNOON. NOW. IMPACT WEATHER RETURNS TOMORROW. SOME SHOWERS POSSIBLE, MAINLY LATER IN THE DAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. NOW THERE’S A CHANCE WE GET SOME SNOWFLAKES TO MIX IN. SO BETTER CHANCE FOR ANY MIX OR LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION RIGHT NOW. FAVORS NORTHEAST OF THE OMAHA METRO, AND THEN GET READY FOR A QUICK LATE WEEK WARM-UP. WE’RE TALKING HIGHS IN THE 50S, 60S, AND POSSIBLY SOME SPOTS INTO THE 70S. BY FRIDAY, SO AT LEAST A LITTLE TASTE OF SPRING AGAIN TO CLOSE OUT FEBRUARY 12TH. OUR FORECAST TODAY, THOUGH, STILL KEEP THE JACKET AROUND. TEMPERATURES HANGING AROUND THE UPPER 40S AND LOW 50S WITH MORE CLOUDS THAN SUNSHINE AND THEN STAYING DRY AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH CLOUD COVER STICKING AROUND, SOME FILTERED SUNSHINE, YOU CAN SEE THE BENSON GOLF COURSE THERE. YOU GOT THE SNOW ON THE GROUND, HIGHER ALBEDO, SO THE SUN REFLECTS OFF IT. SO THAT’S WHY WE SEE SPOTS WITH MORE SNOW. THE TEMPERATURES CLIMB AS QUICKLY AS THE BARE GROUND AS YOU SEE HERE IN A MOMENT. 45 DEGREES AT EPPLEY AIRFIELD RIGHT NOW FEELS LIKE 45 WITH THE VERY LIGHT BREEZE, MORE SNOW ON THE GROUND IN IOWA. THAT’S WE’RE SEEING HIGHS OR NOT. HIGHS. TEMPERATURES CURRENTLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. MEANWHILE, NEAR BEATRICE WE’RE PUSHING CLOSE TO 60 DEGREES HERE AT 1215. SO YOU CAN TELL JUST BY THIS MAP ALONE FOR THE MOST PART, WHERE WE’RE SEEING MORE OF THAT SNOW STILL ON THE GROUND NOW COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURE THREE TIMES AS WARM. WE WERE AT 15 HERE AT 12:00 YESTERDAY. SO MOST SPOTS TEMPERATURES 25, 30, 35 CLOSE TO 40 DEGREES WARMER NOW THAN THIS TIME YESTERDAY AT THIS HOUR. SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE TO BE OUTSIDE. CLOUD COVER AROUND WILL KEEP IT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES IN THE METRO AROUND 50 DEGREES THREE 4:00 AGAIN PUSHING 60 DOWN SOUTH, MAINLY MID TO UPPER 40S IN IOWA. WE’LL SEE SOME CLEARING OVERNIGHT. SO WITH WHATEVER MELTING WE GET TODAY COULD SEE SOME REFREEZE TOMORROW MORNING AND THEN CLOUDING BACK UP NOW AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON, THIS SMILE HINTING AT SOME SPOTTY SNOW SHOWERS. NOW SURFACE TEMPERATURES LIKELY GOING TO BE ABOVE FREEZING IN MOST LOCATIONS. SO EVEN IF YOU SEE SOME FLURRIES OR SOME SNOWFLAKES, MOST OF THAT REALLY WON’T REACH THE GROUND OR AT LEAST ACCUMULATE ON THE GROUND MAY DAMPEN THINGS UP A BIT. I THINK WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS HERE IN THE METRO, WITH ANY LIGHT SNOW MORE UP TOWARD DENISON CARROLL THE AUDUBON AREA AGAIN THROUGH MIDNIGHT, 1:00, MAYBE A LITTLE LIGHT MIX IN A LITTLE DUSTING UP NORTH, AND THEN MOST OF THAT MOVES OUT. SO RIGHT NOW, AGAIN, IF YOU’RE UP TOWARD TEKAMAH, ATLANTIC, DENISON, HARLAN, CARROLL, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE A DUSTING IN SOME SPOTS, HIGH END, AN INCH. BUT I THINK THAT’S EVEN MORE INTO NORTH CENTRAL IOWA. AGAIN, WE COULD SEE SOME SNOWFLAKES HERE IN OMAHA MIXED IN WITH THAT RAIN, ESPECIALLY AFTER SUNSET, BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD REALLY CAUSE IMPACTS ON THE ROADWAYS. SO STILL HAVE THE IMPACT ICON IN JUST A HEADS UP. COULD HAVE SOME PRECIPITATION LATER TOMORROW. AND THEN THE SUN COMES OUT AND THE TEMPERATURES, WELL THEY JUMP UP MID 50S THURSDAY MID 60S FRIDAY AGAIN DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH WE MELT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. COULD HAVE SOME SPOTS. PUSH CLOSE TO 70 HERE IN THE ME
