Freezing rain, drizzle expected to bring icy, slick conditions to Omaha on Thursday - KETV Omaha

DRIZZLE AND FREEZING RAIN. SO HERE’S A BREAKDOWN. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AS YOU HEAD THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING DRIVE IN THE METRO WILL BE DRIVE FREEZING RAIN. SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE, THOUGH, JUST OFF TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST. MAIN WINDOW FOR SOME LIGHT HERE IN THE METRO. 10 A.M. TO 2 P.M. WE’LL LIKELY SEE SOME OF THAT FREEZING DRIZZLE AND RAIN MOVE IN LATER AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING LIGHT RAIN. SO A WET EVENING DRIVE HERE ACROSS THE METRO WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT RIGHT NOW FOR THE OMAHA METRO NOT GOING TO SEE THOSE IMPACTS AGAIN UNTIL LATER ON THIS MORNING. BUT ANYWHERE IN THE PURPLE. EXPECT TO SEE SOME ICING AT SOME POINT. HERE’S THE ICING POTENTIAL THROUGH THE MORNING, MAINLY OFF TO OUR SOUTH. SO TRAVEL ALONG I-80 ESPECIALLY WEST OF LINCOLN, COULD GET PRETTY DICEY IN THE AFTERNOON NOON. LOOK AT THE ICY NORTH ON ICE 29 NORTH OF THE METRO AND STILL BACK WEST ON I-80 THROUGH PARTS OF EASTERN NEBRASKA. SO THAT’S YOU SEE MORE OF THE IMPACTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON NOON AS LIKELY STAYING FREEZING PRECIPITATION HERE IN THE METRO, TRANSITIONING OVER TO JUST LIQUID RAIN SERVICE COMING OFF THE ROCKIES WILL LIKELY SEE PRECIPITATION SPREAD OUT IN COVERAGE RIGHT NOW JUST A LITTLE BIT OF FREEZING DRIZZLE RAIN LIKELY DOWN TOWARD AUBURN FALLS CITY, PAWNEE CITY, MOVING TOWARD THE MARYVILLE AREA. SO THIS IS ALL THAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN OUR VIEWING AREA. SO IT COULD GET A LIGHT GLAZE OF ICE ALONG 29 IN NORTHWEST MISSOURI AND AROUND FALLS CITY AND POSSIBLY IN MARYVILLE RIGHT NOW, MARYVILLE. TEMPERATURE 33. BUT AT THE FREEZING AND FALLS CITY, IT IS COLD IN OMAHA RIGHT NOW. CLOUDS HAVE YET TO COVER US AGAIN. SO WITH CLEAR SKIES ALLOWED, THOSE TEMPERATURES TO REALLY DROP OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. SO THE SURFACE PLENTY COLD FOR ANYTHING THAT FALLS TO TO THE GROUND. THAT’S A LOOK RIGHT NOW DOWN HIGHWAY 370 ROADS DRY. ANYTHING THAT’S NOT AGAIN, COULD SLICK UP VERY QUICKLY ONCE THINGS GET GOING LATER THIS MORNING, 60 DEGREES WITH THE BREEZE RIGHT NOW FEELS SEVEN SO IMPACT WHETHER THIS MORNING AGAIN AFTER 10 A.M. BETTER POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING AND THEN THIS AFTERNOON JUST SOME CHILLY RAIN. TEMPERATURES BARELY GETTING ABOVE FREEZING HANGING IN THE MID-THIRTIES AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EVENING DRIVE. SO HERE IT IS ON STORM PREDICTOR DRY 7:00 BY 10:00, SOME SPOTTY FREEZING DRIZZLE, LIKELY SOME FREEZING RAIN DOWN TOWARD LINCOLN BEATRICE YORK, POSSIBLY PLATTSMOUTH AS WELL BY A BETTER POTENTIAL FOR SOME SLICK WITH THAT FREEZING RAIN PICKING. HERE’S THE EARLY AFTERNOON. WE’RE ABOVE FREEZING TRANSITIONING TO RAIN. RAIN TO THE SOUTH AND EAST IN THE METRO STILL SOME FREEZING RAIN. POTENTIAL FREMONT TEKAMAH LINCOLN, YORK, COLUMBUS, STILL RAIN FOR THE EVENING DRIVE IN THE METRO WILL LIKELY STAY RAIN. MAYBE SOME SNOWFLAKES MIXING ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE METRO AS WE GET TOWARDS 10:00. AND THEN ALL THAT MOVES OUT AND THEN WE’RE DRY BY DRIVE TIME ON FRIDAY MORNING. BUT ANY ACCUMULATION ON THE BACK INTO THIS LIKELY STAYS NORTH OF THE METRO. LESS THAN AN INCH FOR MOST SOME OF THOSE TWO AND THREE INCH TOTALS LIKELY CLOSER TO THE DAKOTA BORDER. SO IMPACT WEATHER TODAY AGAIN TODAY INTO 2 P.M. THE MAIN WE’RE WATCHING THEM WE’RE DRYING OUT STARTING GET MORE MILD THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO THE FORTIES AND THEN SOME MORE BENEFICIAL RAIN LOOKS LIKE IT’S ON THE WAY. MONDAY AND TUESDAY NEXT WEEK. BUT AGAIN WE’RE DEALING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SLICK CONDITIONS. SOME ICING LATER O
