Cold air and rain (plus some melting snow) all arrives this weekend. Saturday will be cloudy and breezy, with scattered rain across Omaha beginning in the morning, lasting through the evening. Temperatures will vary on Saturday, reaching the 40s/50s near and south of I-80/Omaha, but only in the 30s north of I-80/Omaha. By Saturday evening, most areas will be cooling into the mid 30s.
The Snow: We will have a pocket of northwest Iowa that sees more snow than rain in the morning, specifically around Carroll and Denison, Iowa. That is where minor snow accumulation of 1/2″, or less will be possible in the morning. The ground is still very warm, so this snow will likely melt rather quickly.
As the main shot of cold air moves in Saturday evening, any lingering rain around Omaha will turn over to snow flurries from 7-11pm, followed by clearing skies. No snow accumulations are expected from this…
