(AP) — Parts of Nebraska could see several inches of snow as a storm system moves through the state.

The National Weather Service says snowfall will begin overnight Tuesday, with the heaviest snow expected during the day before tapering off.

A winter storm warning will be in effect between midnight Tuesday and 6 a.m. Wednesday for some counties in southeast Nebraska. A winter weather advisory will be in effect from 3 a.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday for swaths of south-central Nebraska and the Panhandle area.

Anywhere from 2 to 8 inches of snow could fall in the affected areas, including Beatrice and Nebraska City.

Meteorologist Scott Bryant says blowing and drifting snow is expected to reduce visibility on the roads. Gusts are expected to reach around 30 mph.
