For the second time in three days, South Central Nebraska saw a modest-but-noticeable round of snow on this Tuesday, as most of the 24-county area received 1-3, and localized totals to 4. Unlike the event two days prior on the 4th, winds were not much of a factor, with southeasterly speeds only averaging around 10 MPH. According to reports from NeRAIN/CoCoRaHS and official NWS cooperative observers, some of the highest totals featured: 4 at Geneva and four miles east of Ohiowa, 3.9 at Ravenna, 3.7 eight miles south of Elwood and 3.6 two miles northwest of Rockville. In the Nebraska Tri Cities, official totals included 3 at both Kearney and Grand Island airports and 2 at the Hastings NWS office.
This event was squarely centered on the daytime hours, as snow first broke out in far southwestern counties (such as Furnas) shortly before sunrise and gradually expanded northeastward, affecting the majority of South Central Nebraska by mid-late morning. As the afternoon and early evening wore on, snow slowly ended from west-to-east, with the final steady band exiting Fillmore/Thayer counties between 7-8 PM. In the mid-upper levels, the primary instigator was a shortwave trough migrating east out of Colorado across Kansas and far southern Nebraska. At the surface, this was another very cold snow with daytime highs only topping out around 10 F, and the light winds promoted by strong Arctic high pressure (roughly 1033 millibars) centered over Iowa.
