Omaha, Nebraska – Subzero wind chills across Nebraska tonight into Monday morning are prompting cold-weather precautions statewide.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley, temperatures and wind chills are expected to fall below zero in many locations overnight into early Monday, with northwest winds between 5 and 10 mph contributing to the colder apparent temperatures.
Forecast wind chills by early Monday could reach 12 degrees below zero near Storm Lake, Iowa, and between 2 below and 8 below zero across much of eastern Nebraska, including Sioux City, Norfolk, Tekamah and Omaha. Western areas including O’Neill and Valentine are expected to see wind chills between 7 and 8 below zero.
Daytime highs Monday will remain cool, especially across northeast Nebraska and western Iowa. Afternoon temperatures are forecast to reach the mid-20s near Storm Lake and Denison, upper 20s around Sioux City, and low 30s in Omaha and Fremont. Warmer readings in central and western Nebraska are expected to climb into the upper 30s and near 40 degrees, including Grand Island, Kearney and Hebron.
The weather service said a broader warming trend is expected beginning Tuesday, with widespread 40s and 50s forecast for much of the region through the remainder of the week. Areas without snowpack could see temperatures reach into the 60s later in the week.
Morning commuters and students waiting outdoors for buses may experience the coldest conditions before sunrise Monday.
