A low pressure system is expected to spin out of the Rockies and across Kansas, which will bring areas of patchy freezing drizzle to the state Saturday night and into Sunday morning. As the atmosphere cools, we should see a changeover from patchy freezing drizzle to all snow, especially across central and eastern Nebraska. Snow is expected to be heaviest through early Sunday morning before snow ends from west to east across the state into Sunday afternoon.

We should also see mainly dry weather with just a small chance for moisture on Wednesday as a cold front drops through the area and then again by next weekend.
