Winter is back…
HASTINGS, Neb. (Nebraska) — We wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking spring had arrived, but the grim reality will be fulfilled Wednesday when a winter storm joins in, bringing a variety of conditions that will have you reaching for your parka and snow shovels. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Warnings will be in effect Wednesday as a large area of snow sweeps across northern areas of the state, while the I-80 corridor will see a winter mix of freezing drizzle or sleet with some snow mixing in the afternoon that could roll out an icy glaze, but little build up.

Temperatures will dip below freezing by Friday morning and only climb into the 20s in the afternoon, but if you can hang on you should be rewarded with temperatures moderating into the 40s and 50s over the weekend. An upper-level low pressure system will move into the region on Sunday, but precipitation is expected to remain as rain given warmer temperatures. The instability will in fact be sufficient to produce some thunderstorms over the whole area.
But pull yourself together for the weekend. (Nebraska)
