For Saturday, a trace to maybe an inch of snow is possible for much of the state, with 1-2" possible for a line from Omaha to O'Neill north and northeast. Early afternoon timing north and west. Late afternoon into the evening for central and east.

I'm in the middle of forecasting the snow potential for Saturday and here's an early look at what I'm looking at.
Higher potential is north and east, but much of eastern Nebraska has a chance at snow, too. I'll have detailed numbers this evening!

Trying to warm up on Tuesday, but with a fresh pack of snow on the ground, eastern Nebraska will be much colder than the western half!

Reports are trickling in and they range from 1.7" to 3" for SE Nebraska from the snow early Monday (Dec 1, 2025).
Saw quite a few 1" reports from Roca, Denton, Murdock, Raymond, and Seward, but that was as of 7-8am, so it probably wasn't done snowing by then.

As expected, it's SNOWING Monday morning! We'll see around an inch or two after it's all said and done by late morning. Streets are slick, so take you're time getting to where you need to go!

A quick hitting system will drop a trace to 1" of fluffy snow Monday, with 1-2", possibly up to 4", in far SE Nebraska. Winter Wx Adv is in place.
Starts in western Nebraska late Sunday, into central Nebraska overnight, then into eastern Nebraska AM Monday. Lingers into Monday.

Winter Weather Advisory is now in place for much of Nebraska through Saturday morning. Freezing drizzle/rain changing to 1-2" of snow through Saturday morning. 2-4" to the north. Several more inches of snow possible closer to Iowa in the Winter Storm Warning counties. Lots of wind on Saturday, too.

Wondering what all of the weather models are saying for snowfall potential on Saturday? I will be doing videos like this with every winter storm so if this is something that interests you, give me a like/sub on the old tube!
I've added my snowfall potential map for context:

This shows 10am Saturday, Nov 29th. It's when the rain in SE Nebraska is expected to change to snow. It will then push east. When this changes over to snow, how fast it moves east, and dry air will be big factors in our snow totals. My 1-2" still feels right for #LNK.
