Winter Alerts

Winter weather alerts have already been issued for Nebraska for Wednesday for the potential of 2-5" of snow.  There could be more alerts added to this map as we get a better handle on this system.

Forecast

The latest forecast shows the snow showers increasing in coverage area for Nebraska and Kansas by Wednesday morning.  This is where the hazardous travel will be more likely.  As we get into Thursday snow showers developing over Colorado will move south to Texas and Oklahoma.
