Winter weather in Omaha
Omaha sees Plains storms that can combine snow, strong north winds and sharply falling temperatures in a short time. Blowing snow and wind chill often matter as much as the snow total.
Sitting on the Missouri River at the eastern edge of the Plains, Omaha can also catch the northern edge of ice storms that track through Kansas and Missouri. The model boosts effective snowfall when gusts reach 35 mph during snow, weights any freezing rain heavily, and adds a cold-closure term for the coldest mornings.

Frequently asked questions
Is Omaha Public Schools closed tomorrow?
SnowCall cannot tell you whether school is closed — only the district can. The estimate above is a forecast-based probability. For official closures and delays, check ops.org, the district's alert system, or local news.
How much snow does it take to close Omaha Public Schools?
There is no published snowfall number. The model treats Omaha as a "snow country" area, where about 7" of overnight snow, 0.15" of ice, or a morning wind chill near -25°F makes a closure roughly a coin flip. Timing, temperature and wind can move that a lot.
Where does this forecast come from?
Hourly data from Open-Meteo for Omaha (41.26, -95.93), four global weather models, and the National Weather Service's gridded snow and ice forecast and alerts.
