The Omaha office of the National Weather Service says a Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisories are in effect in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area from late Wednesday afternoon to early Thursday evening.
They say snow is expected to become heavy overnight into Thursday morning, making travel difficult.
The area of heavy snow is expected to occur later today into Thursday across eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa.
Heaviest snowfall in southeast Nebraska is expected to be 6 to 8 inches, and there will be a large gradient in snowfall amounts, especially across the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area.
