Here is the latest timing on showers and thunderstorms across eastern Nebraska this evening.
Additionally, a Red Flag Warning is in place for much of the state until 10 p.m. CST.
Overnight temperatures look to be very mild for mid-February across southeast Nebraska.
After this evening’s chances for rain, we should clear through the overnight hours in Lincoln.
Wednesday will be “cooler” following Tuesday’s cold front, dropping temperatures to the lower and middle 60s.
Still a little breezy tomorrow in Lincoln, but afternoon conditions should be pleasant.
Wintry precipitation chances hit the forecast later this week, starting out west late Wednesday evening and moving east through Thursday morning. The latest run of StormCast keeps most of the precipitation at or to the north of Interstate 80.
Models continue to hash out how far south this system will spread, but for the moment the best chances of accumulating snowfall look to be north of Interstate 80.
Chances for flurries will be possible Friday and into Saturday as another system passes off to our south heading into the weekend. Temperatures look a little more like February through Monday, before making another jump into the 50s during the middle of next week.
