Wintry mix, light snow bring slick conditions, power outages to Omaha area on Tuesday - KETV Omaha

EVENING. SO PLAN ON SLICK CONDITIONS. MOST OF THE REST TODAY, ESPECIALLY AFTER 8 A.M. HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO TIME LINE. WHAT I’M THINKING RIGHT NOW, WE’RE STARTING TO SEE DRIZZLE FALL IN THE OMAHA METRO AND THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT 8:00. AND THEN WE MAY SEE SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE LIGHT MIX THERE AFTER STARTING TO SLICK UP THOSE ROADS, GUSTY WINDS WILL REALLY BE DROPPING TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. EVENTUALLY THAT MIX WILL CHANGE OVER SNOW AND THEN WE’LL HAVE LIGHT SNOW, BLOWING SNOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, THEN WRAPPING UP AS WE HEAD TOWARD 5:00. IN TERMS OF AMOUNTS, EXPECTING UP TO AROUND AN INCH IN OMAHA, HIGHER AMOUNTS, 1 TO 3 INCHES UP TO THE NORTH, LESS SNOW DOWN SOUTH RIGHT NOW. YOU COULD SEE THE SNOW LINING REALLY BISECTING NEBRASKA. THE SOUTHWEST IN THE NORTHEAST LINING UP HERE UP THE TWIN CITIES DRIFTING EAST A BIT. BUT WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THAT MOISTURE FILL IN SOME DRIZZLE CLOSER TO THE OMAHA METRO. SO WE’VE ALREADY HAD SOME BURSTS OF SNOW AROUND NORFOLK EARLY MORNING. THIS BAND LINING UP NORTH OF WEST POINT TOWARD THE COLUMBUS AREA ALREADY HAVE SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF FREEZING DRIZZLE. COLUMBUS AS WELL. SO LIKELY SOME SLICK ROADS THERE. THE FREEZING LINE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO OMAHA, BUT AT LEAST RIGHT NOW, STILL OFF TO OUR WEST, RIGHT OVER FREMONT RIGHT NOW. SO THIS IS ALL JUST DRIZZLE STARTING TO DAMPEN THINGS UP HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO FOR NOW TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING ALREADY BELOW FREEZING. NORFOLK, COLUMBUS IN NEW YORK AS WE’VE SEEN JUST THESE INCREDIBLE NORTH WINDS GUST ANYWHERE FROM 30 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR. THAT WILL BE THE CASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, REGARDLESS OF WHAT’S FALLING, THE WIND WILL STILL KEEP UP SO THAT COULD CAUSE SOME ISSUES IN TERMS OF VISIBILITY IF WE GET SOME OF THOSE BURSTS OF SNOW. AND OF COURSE, THAT’S GOING TO MAKE IT FEEL EVEN COLDER, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. THAT’S A LOOK RIGHT NOW FROM AT THE WOMEN’S HOSPITAL TOWARD. DODGE. WE’VE HAD SOME RAINDROPS ON THE CAMERA AND REPORTING AT LEAST SOME DRIZZLE AT EPPLEY RIGHT NOW, 36 DEGREES WITH THAT NORTH WIND FEELS LIKE 25. SO HERE’S STORM BY 7:00, I STILL THINK WILL BE MAINLY DRIZZLE, MAY START TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF MIX AROUND THE FREMONT AREA. 8:00 AGAIN SO, JUST ABOVE FREEZING AND THEN IT’S REALLY AFTER EIGHT WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING. NOW IF WE GET QUICK TRANSITION TO LIGHT SNOW, THAT WOULD LIMIT OUR ICE POTENTIAL. IF IT LINGERS A BIT, WE COULD LIGHT THIS EYE, ESPECIALLY ON SOME OF THOSE ELEVATED, UNTREATED SURFACES, BUT MORE SNOW UP TO THE NORTH CONTINUING THROUGH THE LUNCH HOUR. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO DROP. LIGHT SNOW, GUSTY WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON, MAYBE SOME MODERATE BANDING UP TO OUR NORTH. BUT BY AROUND FOUR OR 5:00, MOST OF THE SNOW IS GOING TO BE WRAPPING UP IN TIME FOR THE EVENING DRIVE. STILL PLAN ON SLICK DRIVING CONDITIONS, GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME AND THEN REALLY CLEARS OUT CLOUDS, INCLUDING AS WE HEAD TO LATER THIS EVENING AND THEN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, TEMPERATURES INTO THE TEENS WITH THE WIND. IT’LL FEEL LIKE THE SINGLE DIGIT. SO WEATHER TODAY AGAIN SIX WE’RE AT RIGHT NOW THAT’S THE HIGHEST WILL BE FOR THE REST OF DAY AS THOSE TEMPERATURES SLIDE. SO AGAIN, JUST GIVE SOME EXTRA TIME IF YOU’RE TRAVELING REALLY THROUGH THE REST OF YOUR TUESDAY, BUT THEN MORE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST AND TEMPERATURES
