(OLNEY/NEWTON) An approaching weather disturbance will bring us plenty of clouds today with snow likely by 12 noon, if not sooner, and an accumulation total from one to three inches possible, more or less, by sunset. Then colder air moves in tonight with our first below-normal temperatures for February, down in the teens by morning. But a high pressure ridge will quickly build into the Midwest with warmer air returning on Sunday after a windy and cold day and night tomorrow. Then we’re back to above-normal weather conditions for February for the first half of next week. Stay tuned for continued weather updates and monitor a NOAA Weather Alert Radio for more weather forecast details.
(LINCOLN) Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement, noting that the incoming snow will likely be light in nature this afternoon for most all of our downstate listening area. While most of the roads are expected to stay clear, although wet, some slippery road conditions could develop before the snow ends. Most of the accumulation is expected on inanimate surfaces. Also, the National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for our listening area, further noting the incoming colder air after the snow. Wind chill values are expected in the single digits tonight through early tomorrow morning with the real temperatures dropping into the teens. Residents and motorists are encouraged to take the needed precautions.
