Omaha, NE – Snow chances are expected to increase late tonight and continue into Thursday morning across parts of northeast Nebraska, potentially creating slick travel conditions during the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service Omaha/Valley office, snow will develop from northwest to southeast late tonight into Thursday morning, with most locations forecast to receive less than one inch of accumulation. However, forecasters say localized higher amounts remain possible, particularly in far northeast Nebraska, where there is a 30% chance of heavier snowfall.
Snow is expected to taper off Thursday evening, though a few snow showers may linger into Friday morning across northeast Nebraska. While widespread impacts are not anticipated, even light snow could create slick spots on roads, bridges, and overpasses, especially during peak commute hours.
Probability forecasts show a moderate chance of at least a dusting (0.1 inch or more) across eastern Nebraska, including Omaha, Norfolk, Fremont, and surrounding communities. The chance of receiving one inch or more remains low for most areas but increases closer to the South Dakota and Iowa borders.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution Thursday morning and allow extra time for travel if snow develops as expected. Temperatures near freezing could allow snow to briefly accumulate on untreated surfaces.
Weather officials stress that snowfall amounts and timing could still shift slightly overnight, particularly where snow bands persist longer than expected.
