Online estimates for snowfall amounts from this weekend's winter storm range upwards of six inches, according to information posted on the weather blogs of three Omaha TV stations.On KMTV's weather blog, weekend meteorologist Dean Wysocki wrote Saturday morning that there appears to be a dry slot pushing into the area.
"Depending on how long this dry slot remains over our area, (this) could really reduce snowfall amounts," Thongklin writes. I'm still expecting at least six inches of snow in the metro, but again, heavier amounts in certain banding regions and lesser amounts to our south and east."
On the KETV.com weather blog, weekend evening meteorologist Roger Schwartz ) is calling snow accumulations through Sunday night of six to 10 inches for Omaha with more north and west. (Editor's Note: Schwartz has flip-flopped shifts with weekend evening meteorologist John Campbell during the February ratings period.)
WOWT's weather blog did not have an entry posted Saturday (as of 10 a.m.), but weekend evening meteorologist Jeff Jensen wrote Friday night that "things still look good" for snowfall amounts
"If you do see a flash of lightning or hear a growl of thunder at 7 or 8 tomorrow (Saturday) night, expect it to start snowing rather heavily," Jensen writes. "One to two-inch amounts per hour can easily accompany convective activity."
