OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Sunday and Monday are First Alert 6 Weather Days with more opportunities for snow as we start off the new year.
A little light snow (mainly as flurries) is possible early Saturday and will mainly be north of the metro. That shouldn’t pose any problems.

As precipitation starts up again Saturday evening, it will likely take the form of light freezing drizzle after 6PM. Patchy slick spots could develop as a result of this. As moisture increases, a switch to all snow will take place from south to north, likely after 10PM for most.
The snow will continue to fall Saturday night and into Sunday morning. This round of snow has the potential to produce the highest amounts we’ve seen so far this season, with most of it falling on Sunday morning.

While the highest likelihood of over 6″ is trending south… this still leaves parts of the viewing area with the potential to see a significant round of snow! 1-3″ is expected for the northern half of the area, including the metro with 3-6″ possible in Lincoln. Higher amounts are expected near the Missouri and Kansas borders. Stay with us as we get a better idea of how much we could see as we move closer to the weekend.

Gusts out of the north could get up to 30 miles per hour during the day on Sunday, potentially blowing around the snow and causing visibility issues as that snow falls, particularly south of the metro.

The coldest air of the season will also move in behind the snow. Lows may drop below zero with wind chills could dropping to below -10°. The frigid temperatures are expected to last through a majority of next week. We are on First Alert for Monday due to lingering slick conditions from Sunday’s snow as well as the start of this cold blast.
