"Interstate 80 Closed in Central Nebraska Due to Whiteout Conditions, Winter Storm Warning in Effect"

Interstate 80 is closed in both directions in central Nebraska between Grand Island and Lexington due to "white out conditions" caused by a major winter storm, prompting the state patrol to advise drivers to wait out the dangerous weather. The Omaha area could see 5 to 10 inches of heavy, wet snow, with higher snow totals possible north and west of the metro, while western Iowa could see 4 to 8 inches of snow. A winter storm warning remains in effect for eastern Nebraska and western Iowa until 12 p.m. Tuesday, with the north wind expected to ramp up by Tuesday morning, leading to blowing and drifting snow and continued hazardous driving conditions.
