The National Weather Service in Omaha/valley has issued a
Blizzard Warning... which is in effect from 9 PM this evening to
noon CST Wednesday. The Winter Storm Warning is now in effect
until 9 PM CST this evening. The blizzard watch is no longer in
effect.

* Timing: moderate to heavy snow is expected to continue through
the overnight hours. Snow will taper off by Wednesday morning.

* Snow accumulations: total snowfall of 10 to 14 inches is
expected through tonight... with the higher amounts closer to
the Kansas border.

* Winds/visibility: northwest winds will increase to 30 mph with
gusts to 40 to 45 mph this evening and early Wednesday. This
will create considerable blowing and drifting snow. Blizzard
conditions are likely.

* Impacts: travel will be extremely dangerous as heavy snow
combined with very strong northwest winds leads to whiteout
conditions this evening and tonight. This combination will
create significant blowing and drifting. High snow drifts are
possible which could lead to Road closures. There is also a
potential for power outages due to the very strong winds. Wind
chill readings on Wednesday will range from 10 to 20 below zero.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions... making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If
you must travel... have a winter survival kit with you. If you get
stranded... stay with your vehicle.
