SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 245 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025

Another cold start to the day this morning, with overnight lows in the single digits to lower teens across the region. Wind chills this morning are expected to be near to below zero, especially during the morning commute. Skies gradually clear this morning from west to east. This will allow for some additional daytime heating across western Nebraska, where highs may reach the mid 30s this afternoon. Further east, where cloud cover lingers and a snow pack still exists, highs are expected to reach the upper 20s to low 30s. Cloud cover is eventually expected to track back into the region later this evening, which will help keep overnight lows slightly warmer, with lows expected to remain in the teens across the region, and wind chills dropping into the single digits.

Warmer conditions are expected on Tuesday, as highs are expected to climb into the 40s across most of the region. Throughout the afternoon, a cold front tracks across South Dakota. By Tuesday evening, the cold front is expected to reach northern Nebraska, bringing our next precipitation chances mostly along and north of Highway 2. At this time, new snow accumulations appear to be light, and mostly around Pine Ridge. Temperatures behind the front are expected to drop into the teens across northern Nebraska Tuesday night into Wednesday. Any snow showers are expected to dissipate by Wednesday morning, with the rest of the day remaining mostly cloudy across the region. Highs climb into the upper 20s to lower 30s.
