OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – The warm pattern has officially been broken this weekend… Highs on Sunday only reached the low 60s and upper 50s with the coldest air of the season dropping over the next three mornings. We have created 6 First Alert Weather Days on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday due to the risk of widespread frost and frost.

Plan to harvest your gardens this weekend before you worry about cold weather. Exposed pipes and underground pipes should be fine, so there is no rush to blow out sprinkler lines until temperatures begin to dip consistently into the upper 20s for several hours in the morning.

Some may dip below freezing Monday morning with freeze warnings NW of the metro, the rest will see frost…

This is about on track for a first frost in the Omaha Metro… Eppley saw its first frost of the season on October 7, but most of the Metro did not. The average first frost is October 6 for Omaha. The first freeze usually occurs on October 14th.

There was initial concern Tuesday about a widespread freeze, but overnight clouds are likely to keep morning lows a little too warm. We still see a risk of frost. By Wednesday morning the risk of a widespread freeze will increase and by then most will see their first freeze.

From here we start to warm up again…the start of the work week will keep highs in the low 60s to upper 50s…we’ll be back into the 70s on Thursday with a welcome chance of rain Friday evening into Saturday.

You can stay informed with the 6 First Alert Forecast.
