While the track of the impending winter storm remains uncertain, the National Weather Service said on Tuesday afternoon patchy freezing drizzle is expected to begin early Wednesday morning in North Platte.

In its update Tuesday afternoon, the NWS predicted 1 to 2 inches of total snow from Wednesday through Thursday — with a 56 percent chance for 2 or more inches of snow.

Heavier snow is now expected to remain north-northeast of North Platte, with some area receiving up to 6 inches of snowfall.

The system likely will bring a wintry mix, as the high temperature Wednesday and Thursday will be in the upper-30s to low-40s.

Winds will pick up Thursday, as well, sustained at 15 to 20 mph and gusting to 30 mph.
