This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southwest Iowa, west central
Iowa, east central Nebraska, northeast Nebraska and southeast
Nebraska.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

There is a 50-75% chance of snow showers through the day today,
beginning around 6 AM in northeast Nebraska and spreading across the
area through the day, ending around 8 PM. Most snowfall amounts
should be under 1 inch, but could be enough to make roads slick.
Localized snowfall totals of 2-3+ inches will be possible under any
heavier snow showers.

In addition, northwest winds gusting 40-50 mph combined with snow
will lead to poor visibility and potential brief whiteout conditions.
Be ready for rapid changes in visibility if traveling across the
area. The winds will also lead to difficult travel for light-weight
and high-profile vehicles.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Wind chills in the single digits to teens below zero are expected
Saturday and Sunday mornings.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
