NWS in Hastings, Neb., has issued a winter weather advisory in effect through noon Wednesday for the following counties in our area.
Jewell County
Mitchell County
A mix of precipitation is expected, ranging from possible snow, sleet, and freezing rain, to just plain rain. Snow accumulation ranging from a dusting up to 1 inch for much of the area are expected, with ice accumulation ranging from none, up to perhaps a few hundredths of an inch. Winds will average 10 to 25 mph from the south.
Due to temperatures both at the surface and aloft hovering close to the freezing mark, this is a relatively low-confidence snow and ice forecast. A difference of only a degree or two in expected temperatures could mean the difference between receiving snow or ice, or simply having a cold rain with no travel issues. Plan on the possibility of slippery road conditions in at least parts of the advisory area, which could impact the Wednesday morning commute.
