Beginning this coming Friday afternoon, residents of Nebraska should get ready for winter weather that might include potentially hazardous conditions. Forecasters anticipate that a significant portion of the region will experience freezing rain, mild ice accumulation, and roadways that are slippery.
Light precipitation is expected to begin on Friday afternoon, continue through the evening, and continue into Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Driving conditions could become hazardous if there is a combination of precipitation, including snow, rain, and freezing drizzle. Especially east of Highway 281, there is a possibility of ice formation of up to 0.10 inches.
Even minute shifts in temperature can have a big impact on the types of precipitation that fall, according to forecasters. The winds are forecast to be easterly at 10–15 miles per hour on Friday, and then they will shift to the northwesterly direction on Saturday.
It is especially important for individuals who are traveling on Friday night and Saturday morning to exercise caution, as the NWS advises. The residents should pay special attention to the forecasts because the most recent data may have an effect on the time and intensity.
Prepare yourself for icy roads by minimizing the amount of time you spend driving, exercising increased caution, and allowing for additional travel time. Maintain your awareness by always checking for the latest weather reports and advisories.
