Two to four inches of snow fell across portions of south central Nebraska from two separate systems on this Saturday and Sunday. Around 12 AM CST Saturday, a very narrow west-east oriented band of light snow developed over southwest Nebraska. It's eastern tip extended into Dawson county. Between 5 and 6 AM, another narrow band developed a little further south. This band affected most of south central Nebraska over the following several hours, moving northeast while simultaneously expanding toward the southeast. By 4 PM CST, the snow ended as the western edge of the snow moved into eastern Nebraska. Snow fell across most of south central Nebraska and the snow was moderate to heavy at times, but not for more than 1 to 2 hours at any one location. Later that evening, a large shield of light snow moved east out of Colorado into Kansas. The northern fringe of this snow moved through south central Nebraska between 8 PM CST Saturday and 6 AM CST Sunday. Snowfall amounts from both of these events averaged 2 to 4 inches. The highest amounts included an isolated 7.5 inches 6 miles southwest of Lexington, 4.5 at Miller and Superior, 4.4 at Kearney, and 4.0 at Franklin. The 7.5 inches southwest of Lexington was an area affected by both narrow snow bands on Saturday as well as the light snow Saturday night into Sunday morning.
A bitterly cold Arctic air mass encompassed the central United States during these two days. From Saturday into Sunday, 1048 mb high pressure was over Montana. The flow aloft did not depict how cold temperatures were at the surface. The flow was zonal during Saturday, with a cold 510 dm low along the Manitoba-Ontario border. By Sunday, a subtle shortwave trough appeared from Kansas down to northern Texas, with the Canadian low over northern Ontario. The snow bands Saturday were generated from a combination of mid-level frontogenesis and subtle quasi-geostrophic forcing associated with a 125 kt upper-level jet streak. The same was true for Sunday, but a coupled jet streak configuration appeared to be the main forcing for ascent over Nebraska.
