The latest National Weather Service storm update shows less snow accumulation on the northern edge of the system including the Lincoln area.

NWS

The winter storm will continue to result in areas of snow and travel will become difficult due to blowing and drifting snow.

Heavy snow is forecast for southeast Nebraska and extreme southwest Iowa where storm totals of 6 to 12 inches or more are forecast. Farther north, lesser snow amounts of 0 to 2 inches are forecast.

Northerly wind gusts of 25 to 35 miles per hour will also reduce visibilities due to blowing snow, and there could be considerable drifting as well. Travel will remain difficult in some locations on Sunday due to blizzard conditions along the Kansas state line.

Morning wind chills of -10 to -20 will be possible across eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa each morning Monday through Wednesday. The coldest wind chills are expected across portions of northeast Nebraska, and a Cold Weather Advisory is in effect Monday morning in northeast and southeast Nebraska.
