Omaha, NE – Residents across eastern Nebraska should brace for another bitterly cold start Friday morning, as the National Weather Service (NWS) Omaha/Valley warns of wind chills dipping into the single digits.
According to the NWS, a light but steady breeze will combine with low temperatures to make the air feel significantly colder for much of the region. The agency advises residents to “throw on that extra layer” before heading outside, as frostbite risks increase in these conditions.
Temperatures early Friday are expected to hover in the teens, but wind chills could make it feel closer to zero in open areas. The NWS recommends wearing multiple layers, a warm hat, and gloves, following its “Dressing for Cold Weather” guide — which suggests three or more layers and insulated boots during extreme cold.
Those commuting early or spending extended time outdoors should take extra precautions to stay warm and dry. Even brief exposure can cause discomfort or minor frostbite on exposed skin when wind chills fall into the single digits.
