Coolest St. Patrick’s Day in three years

A weather system will pass to the south of Nebraska over the next 24 hours bring with it more clouds and even a chance for rain showers.

Scattered showers will stay confined to southeast of a line from Omaha to Lincoln to Hebron Wednesday afternoon.  Winds will also increase, especially during the afternoon, gusting 35 to 40 mph.  Highest gusts will likely occur close to the Nebraska/Kansas state line.
