6 First Alert Weather Day - Chilly fall day before a freeze tonight into Wednesday morning
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - We’re starting the day with enough cloud cover and breeze to avoid a widespread frost in the area for Tuesday morning. Temperatures in the 40s will still be chilly though with that breeze.
Thankfully the wind will back off as the day goes along because we’ll only warm into the mid 50s this afternoon. It will definitely have a fall feel to the air all day.
The light wind and clear skies tonight will allow the temperatures to drop to the coldest readings of the season by Wednesday morning. We’ll all dip below freezing and some of us could see a hard freeze too. That is why tonight into Wednesday morning is a 6 First Alert Weather Day.
You’ll want to take some precautions with any above ground water lines but anything below ground should be ok with this brief dip below 32. Plants will likely struggle if you’ve been able to keep them away from the frost so far this season. We’ll be able to rebound nicely to near average by Wednesday afternoon.
Warm and windy conditions will then take over for the rest of the week with highs in the 70s Thursday & Friday and south wind gusts up near 40 mph each day.
