Effective immediately the Governor has issued an Executive Order that bans the issuance of Open Burn Permits for 14 days. The Executive Order prohibits any fire chief or person designated by the fire chief from granting an open burn permit for any purpose.

This order will be reviewed prior to its termination to determine the need to extend the ban. Further information will be provided prior to that date. The Executive Order document will be issued later today when all required parties have signed it. Thanks

Quite the mix of winter weather in our near future. Even though it’s #BlackFriday and stores are crazy, go get your errands done today so you don’t have to have to be out on slick roads over the weekend. #NebraskaWeather

Winter weather is still on track to cause widespread hazardous travel late today through Saturday. Some of this may start as light freezing rain late today, which can sneakily make roads very dangerous, before changing over to snow by Saturday.

This image is a map showing light freezing rain in southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa developing by 3 PM, and overspreading much of the area by 6 PM. The freezing rain will be light, but may be enough to make roads slick.

Two maps, one showing widespread hazardous travel is likely across all of Iowa, much of eastern Nebraska, South Dakota, with 30-50% chance of hazardous travel in western Nebraska and northern Kansas tonight through Saturday. A second map showing better regional travel conditions on Sunday, although eastern Iowa and points east are still likely to have hazardous conditions.
