Another First Alert Weather Day is set in motion this morning. Yesterday’s valley snowfall has led to heavy snow accumulations in the high country. I-70 travel is extremely difficult this morning as many passes are covered in snow.

Wind chills could get as cold as -25 at times again Friday morning too but with lighter winds in the morning the wind chill will not be as brutal. There should be rapid improvement by Friday afternoon though as the south wind sends us in the double digits once again, approaching 20 in Omaha!

We’ll continue our trend of bitterly cold mornings on Friday. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect until 9am for locations along and south of Highway 20. Wind chills will be in the -20s through mid-morning, but then a southerly wind up to 25mph will take over and help temperatures peak near 20° this afternoon. Lots of sunshine is expected today.
