There will be a chance of snow for most areas tonight as a clipper system moves through the region. Snow totals tonight are forecast to be less than an inch.
Another round of snow appears highly likely Friday night and Saturday across northeast Nebraska and west-central Iowa.
A winter storm watch is now in effect from 6 pm Friday through 6 pm Saturday for that area where 4 to 8 inches of snow are forecast, along and north of a line from Neligh to Wayne to Onawa, Iowa.
Travel could become difficult due to reduced visibilities in blowing snow and deteriorating road conditions.
An arctic air mass will sweep into the region Saturday night and persist through at least next week. This will result in coldest wind chills falling to minus 20 or colder over portions of northeast Nebraska and west-central Iowa each morning Sunday through Wednesday.
