Afternoon drizzle possible before drying, warming the rest of the week

Some snow fell across a narrow strip of real estate in south-central Nebraska on Saturday. That’s when most of the snow on the map below fell, with a few inches seen south and west of Hastings.

The snow in and around Lincoln came from Sunday night.

Some in north Lancaster County measured over 2 inches of snow from this round. The rain and snow at the airport came to 0.33 of an inch overall in total precipitation on Sunday.

Here’s some more reports from across south and central Nebraska from Saturday.

Problems were seen along Highway 281 as this snow fell.

The highest snowfall amount came in at 5 inches near Campbell, Nebraska.

Below are some reports coming in Monday morning from Sunday’s late event.

Garland and areas between Seward and Lincoln saw a few inches accumulate, but most of town saw under an inch.

With the recent moisture, there was freezing fog early Monday morning. Conditions improved later in the morning once temperatures climbed above freezing.

We should warm nicely by the afternoon, but clouds will be increasing as a cold front approaches.

There’s a chance for some light precipitation as it passes Monday afternoon.

We should be warm enough to see rain as a light drizzle for a short time. Then clouds clear for a bit heading into the evening hours.

After this chance, we are drying out and warming up Tuesday and beyond.

Above-average highs will continue into the weekend. Typical high temperatures for early December are around the lower 40s.

In fact, we’ll be so warm on Thursday that we’re on record watch.

The record high for Dec. 7 in Lincoln is 65 degrees, set back in 1984. We’ll be closing in on that temperature with the right conditions.

We also seem to be in a weekend cycle for precipitation chances. That will continue into next weekend, as we eye the potential for another winter mix on Saturday.
