Strong storm system brings showers, storms, gusty winds and some snow through Tuesday AM
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Showers are ongoing Monday morning and we will continue to see some of those with a few flashes of lightning during the morning drive.
The best chance for dry weather today comes in the late morning to early afternoon hours, where we may even manage a few peeks of sunshine.
After 3 PM, scattered thunderstorms will become possible into the early evening hours.
The best chance for these will be east of the Missouri River.
One or two of these storms could have some gusty winds or hail with them.
Temperatures will vary a fair bit today, with highs near 60 in the metro and in western Iowa; meanwhile, areas near Norfolk and Columbus will top out in the mid 30s.
Winds will be gusty as well as the front moves through the area.
Gusts during the day will peak around 30 miles per hour; however, gusts around 40-45 miles per hour out of the northwest will take place overnight into Tuesday morning behind the front.
As the colder air takes hold, a switch to light snow will take place after midnight.
The snow will wrap up around sunrise with totals under an inch.
However, it could be enough to cause some slick conditions for the Tuesday morning commute.
The wind gets calmer as Tuesday goes on but temperatures will struggle to the low to mid 30s for highs, with a mostly cloudy sky making it seem even more chilly.
The rest of the week will see calmer conditions with temperatures warming steadily.
Wednesday gives us highs near 50 with a high near 70 by Friday.
Easter Sunday currently looks partly cloudy with a high in the mid to upper 50s.
