... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 9 am this morning to
9 PM CST this evening...
... Winter Storm Watch in effect from late Monday night through
late Tuesday night...
The National Weather Service in Hastings has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from 9 am this
morning to 9 PM CST this evening.
A Winter Storm Watch has also been issued. This Winter Storm Watch
is in effect from late Monday night through late Tuesday night.
* The first of two storm systems will impact south central
Nebraska today with light snow through early evening. A
second... much stronger storm will push snow into the area around
midnight Monday night... and continue through much of Tuesday
night.
* Snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are expected across south
central Nebraska today. The second storm on Tuesday will dump much
heavier snow amounts... likely in the 6 to 10 inch range.
* Blowing and drifting snow problems will be limited today... but that
will not be the case with the second storm. North winds at 20 to
30 mph with higher gusts will cause widespread blowing and
drifting snow Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.
* Locally hazardous travel conditions are expected this afternoon and
evening... as roads become snow packed and visibilities are
reduced at times. The second storm has the potential to result
in dangerous travel conditions due to heavier snow amounts and
much stronger winds.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow
covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
