Omaha could see its first snowfall of the season this Tuesday, November 25th, with a 50% chance of accumulation. While a widespread snowfall is expected, the potential for critically important amounts varies across the region.
The forecast indicates a 20% probability of 4 inches or more of snow falling. Areas north of Omaha, notably beyond Carroll, Iowa, have a higher likelihood of receiving 3 to 4 inches-estimated between 30-50%. Conversely, locations south of Omaha currently show a less than 50% chance of accumulating more than 2 inches. The liquid-to-snow ratio is projected at 10:1, meaning 10 parts liquid water will create 1 part snow.
Following the anticipated snowfall Saturday night, a significant temperature drop is forecast. Lows are expected to reach 8 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit by Sunday and Monday mornings, with wind chills perhaps dipping near zero during those days and Tuesday. A secondary, smaller system may bring additional snow on Monday, though its track currently suggests it could remain confined to Kansas and Missouri.
