The low pressure center in Nebraska is expected to progress
north-northeast through the central Plains and into the Upper
Midwest by Friday. Heavy wet snow is expected from Nebraska,
through the Dakotas and into the Upper Midwest. Greatest storm
total accumulations are expected across northern Nebraska, South
Dakota, and central Minnesota of up to 15-30" by Friday. Power
outages are likely. In addition, strong winds will result in
blizzard conditions and hazardous travel. Furthermore,
thunderstorms, heavy rain, and mixed precipitation are expected
ahead of the frontal system. To the south, strong winds will lead
to critical fire weather danger across the southern High Plains.
The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 PM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
