Lincoln and Lancaster County have a small chance to see light snowfall overnight Monday into early Tuesday morning.
Officials with the National Weather Service in Omaha say some areas could see closer to 6 inches of snow, especially in the Omaha metro area. Surrounding areas within the narrow band could expect a “sloppy” 1 to 4 inches of snow.
Some precipitation will begin as rain and turn into falling snow by midnight, according to NWS. Snowfall chances are expected to peak around midnight at 60% in Lincoln.
Affected Nebraska counties include: Knox, Cedar, Thurston, Antelope, Pierce, Wayne, Boone, Madison, Stanton, Cuming, Burt, Platte, Colfax, Dodge, Washington, Butler, Saunders, Douglas, Sarpy, Seward, Lancaster, Cass, Otoe, Saline, Jefferson, Gage, Johnson, Nemaha, Pawnee, and Richardson.
Elevated roadways like bridges and overpasses could become slick overnight. Residents are encouraged to allow themselves extra time for Tuesday morning’s commute. Areas seeing accumulation can expect muddy conditions by Tuesday afternoon.
Chances for widespread hazardous weather later this week are low.
