Snowfall totals: Omaha area sees light snow Wednesday morning
ARKANSAS. REENA ROY, ABC NEWS, NEW YORK, LUKE. WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THIS MORNING, MY JAW JUST DROPPED BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A TOP TEN DAY TWO DAYS AGO. I KNOW IT’S CRAZY HOW MUCH WE CHANGE HERE IN THE MIDWEST, NEBRASKA, IOWA. ONE DAY YOU CAN HAVE THE SUNSHINE IN PERFECT WEATHER. AND THEN WE GOT A LITTLE SNOWFALL THIS MORNING. BUT NOW THAT’S ALL CLEARED OUT. AND IF YOU LOOK OUTSIDE, IT DOESN’T LOOK TOO BAD. AND A LOT OF THAT SNOW IS ALREADY MELTING. SO GARLAND, NEBRASKA, THAT WAS THE BIGGEST REPORT I’VE SEEN OF 2.5IN NORFOLK AT 2.3. THE FURTHER NORTH AND WEST YOU GO, THE AIR TEMPERATURES WERE A LITTLE BIT COOLER, SO YOU COULD GET A LITTLE BIT MORE TO ACCUMULATE, BUT MOST AREAS ACTUALLY GOT LESS THAN AN INCH. WE’RE PUTTING THE HEAVIER TOTALS UP HERE AND LIKE ELKHORN GOT 1.4 BENNINGTON 1.2 LOGAN IOWA JUST ABOUT AN INCH AND BOYS TOWN AN INCH AND EVERYTHING ELSE LIKE LINCOLN VALLEY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE THERE MILFORD EPPLEY ALL BELOW AN INCH OF SNOWFALL. AND NOW WE HAVE TO LOOK AHEAD TO IS SOME WINDY CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY. THAT’S ACTUALLY GOING TO WARM US UP. SO WE HAVE A FIRE WEATHER. WATCH OUT. AND THAT IS FROM NOON TO 9 P.M. TOMORROW. AND A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR AREAS INTO WESTERN IOWA AND ALSO AREAS IN EASTERN NEBRASKA LIKE YORK AND POLK COUNTY. SO THE WINDS ARE GOING TO BE GUSTING PRETTY HARD. EVEN A HIGH WIND WARNING UP THERE FOR CRAWFORD AND CARROLL COUNTY. THAT WILL BE THURSDAY NIGHT, 10 P.M. TO 10 A.M. ON FRIDAY. THERE’S A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE AGAIN, THE BLUE SKIES STARTING TO PEEK THROUGH. SO IT’S LOOKING BETTER HERE THIS AFTERNOON. BUT IT’S GOING TO BE CHILLIER. IT’S GOING TO BE BREEZY FOR A WHILE, 34 DEGREES. THERE’S THAT NORTHWEST WIND AT 23MPH. 37 LINCOLN 39. BEATRICE 36, SHENANDOAH 32. RIGHT AT THE FREEZING MARK UP THERE NEAR DENISON AND LVIV DEUEL POLE IS QUIET FOR US NOW. YOU CAN SEE THAT LITTLE SLIVER OF GLASS SNOWFALL MOVING INTO NORTHWEST MISSOURI AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST IOWA. AND NOW AGAIN, WE’RE LOOKING AT MORE BLUE SKIES AND SUNSHINE AS THAT SNOW PUSHES EAST INTO IOWA WAS PRETTY QUICK MOVING. AND HERE’S HOW WE LOOK MOVING FORWARD HERE ON WEDNESDAY. SO THE SUNSHINE, MAYBE A FEW CLOUDS. HIGH PRESSURE TAKING OVER LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. SO THE WINDS I THINK WILL DECREASE A LITTLE BIT THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THERE’S YOUR NIGHTTIME HOURS. WE’LL KEEP THE CLEAR SKIES, SOME CLOUDS MOVING IN FOR TOMORROW. I THINK IF YOU LIVE IN EASTERN NEBRASKA, YOU COULD GET SOME SUN. BUT THE MAIN THING TOMORROW IS AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY WINDY. IT’S GOING TO BE WARMER. IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DRY OUTSIDE. SO A LITTLE FIRE DANGER CONCERN. THEN WE’LL HAVE A COUPLE FRONTS MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. LIGHT CHANCE MAYBE A SHOWER THERE IN WESTERN IOWA AND THE NORTH WINDS WILL BE BLOWING ESPECIALLY STRONG IN WESTERN IOWA INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. HERE’S YOUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST JUST FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S. SO AGAIN, COOLER THAN YESTERDAY. BUT WE HAVE THE SUNSHINE BACK AFTER THAT. SNOW HAS NOW MOVED OUT THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY 47 DEGREES. SO THAT KNOCKS US DOWN QUITE A BIT FROM YESTERDAY. AND THEN OF COURSE THE TOP TEN DAY THE DAY BEFORE 28. THE LOW TEMPERATURE FOR TONIGHT. I DON’T THINK THERE’S ENOUGH SNOWFALL TO REALLY MELT AND CAUSE SLICK SPOTS HERE AROUND OMAHA, MAYBE CLOSER NORTH AND WEST AROUND NORFOLK TOMORROW. IT’S WARMER WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S, SOME 70. THE FURTHER WEST YOU GO INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA, BUT THE BIGGER NOTICEABLE FACTOR WILL BE HOW WINDY IT IS TOMORROW, WITH WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR 40MPH. SO WE’VE MADE IT AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY FOR THE FIRE DANGER CONCERNS. WE HOPE ESPECIALLY THE AREAS THAT GET MORE SNOWFALL, A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE THAT WILL LIMIT SOME OF THE FIRE DANGER. IF WE CAN KEEP THOSE SOILS SATURATED. FRIDAY, WE’RE DOWN TO 49 DEGREES. AFTER THAT SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. SO AGAIN, KIND OF A ROLLER COASTER RIDE WITH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY, WE’RE UP TO 57 AND WE’RE WATCHING FOR A SNOW CHANCE SUNDAY MORNING. SO I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A CLASSIC LATE WINTER TO EARLY SPRING.
