According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the coldest temperatures are anticipated across northeast and southeast Nebraska, with the worst wind chills during early morning hours. Northwest winds at 5-10 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph, will intensify the freezing conditions. Residents are urged to wear multiple layers, limit time outdoors, and ensure pets have proper shelter.
