OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – We’ll start the day with enough cloud cover and wind to avoid a widespread freeze in the area Tuesday morning. However, temperatures will still be chilly in the 40s with that breeze.

Fortunately, the wind will decrease during the day as we won’t warm up until the mid-50s this afternoon. There will definitely be a fall feeling in the air all day long.

Tonight’s light winds and clear skies will allow temperatures to drop to the coldest values ​​of the season on Wednesday morning. We will all dip below freezing and some of us may experience a hard freeze as well. That’s why tonight through Wednesday morning is a 6 First Alert Weather Day.

You’ll need to take some precautions around overhead water lines, but anything below ground should be fine with this brief dip below 32.
