Simulated radar guidance regarding the pulse of snow possible across far eastern Nebraska into Iowa from ~6pmCST across northern Nebraska through ~7-8amCST across Iowa east:
Forecast radar from 1pm Thursday to 6pm Friday CT shows snow rapidly building into central/northern Iowa Thursday afternoon and evening, with heavy snow Thursday night:
Areas of snow will continue across Iowa and Nebraska Friday, with additional wintry precipitation likely developing further south over Kansas/Missouri Friday night through Saturday night as the front sinks southward.
