(KLZA)-- A Winter Storm Warning that includes Richardson, Pawnee and Nemaha counties in southeast Nebraska along with Brown and Nemaha counties in northeast Kansas is in effect from 6:00 P.M. Tuesday evening until 6:00 P.M. Wednesday evening.
5 - 7 inches of snow is possible with some blowing and reduced visibility due to 20 -25 mph winds blowing the very fluffy snow.
In addition, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch effective from Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon for the rest of southeast Nebraska, northwest Missouri and includes Doniphan and Atchison counties in northeast Kansas.
The heaviest snow is expected to be south of a line from Nebraska City, west to Hebron with the possibility of accumulations between 4 and 7 inches of snow in the Watch area.
Roads will likely become slick and visibility may be reduced due to blowing and drifting snow.
Temperatures will be cold with wind chills around 10 below zero.
If travel is necessary, drive with extreme caution, consider taking a winter storm kit along with you. That would include tire chains, booster cables, a flashlight, shovel, blankets and extra clothing.
Also take water, a first aid kit and anything else that would help you survive in case you become stranded.
