A wintery mix of rain and snow to continue across West Central Nebraska this afternoon. Warm ground temperatures are largely limiting accumulations, but where moderate snow is falling, slushy accumulations of up to an inch are possible. A changeover to all rain is possible later this afternoon, especially south of the Sandhills where temperatures slowly warm into the mid to upper 30s. Visibility under the heaviest snow bands will briefly fall to 1 mile. The system will continue to slowly work to the east with the rain and snow expected to impact north central Nebraska later this afternoon. $$
