A Cold Weekend Ahead

Houston Hall,

Thursday’s snowfall in Lincoln was one for the record books! The old daily snowfall record of 4.4″ (set in 2019) was crushed, as the city officially recorded more than 7 inches of snow, with some neighborhoods picking up even higher totals.
The narrow band of heaviest snow ultimately set up a bit farther south, leading to even bigger numbers in Omaha, where 8–9+ inches were reported

Snow Totals

This afternoon, temperatures only reaching the 20s!  Breezy NW winds 10-15 mph will occur through the early afternoon. Sunny skies will be present all day across Nebraska. Snow will have trouble melting, as fresh snow has a high reflectance rate. Snow will slowly melt as we go into Monday.

State Forecast Highs Tomorrow

Northwest winds will gust to around 20-25 mph through noon before easing up. A blustery feel to your Friday.

Another round of light snow will attempt to push east from SW Nebraska Friday night (5pm-5am Saturday). This will be light, fluffy snow mainly across SW Nebraska as it drifts east overnight. A few locations near the Kansas/NE border could get around 0.5″ or more. Some light snow and flurries in south Lincoln by 10pm- midnight.

Here is the potential snow accumulations through Saturday morning:

Snow on the ground will keep us cold and blustery through the weekend. By Tuesday, temperatures warm back up into the 40s and 50s. Tracking a small chance for precipitation late Wednesday into Thursday March. Stay safe out there!
