Houston Hall,

A Cold Weather Advisory (light blue) is in effect for most of Nebraska until noon Tuesday. Wind chills 20-30° below zero are possible, meaning frostbite can happen in as little as 30 minutes.

An Extreme Cold Warning (darker blue) is in effect for parts of northern Nebraska and parts of the Panhandle until noon Tuesday. Wind chills 30-40° below zero are possible, meaning frostbite in 10 minutes or less can happen in these areas.

Tonight, temperatures 5-15 degrees BELOW ZERO with winds gusting up to 30+ mph.

Tuesday morning, temperature will feel 20-30 degrees BELOW ZERO due to the northwest winds.

Here are some of the signs to look for when experiencing frostbite versus hypothermia:

Tuesday, temperatures warming up a little into the 20s and 30s for most of us. The southwest winds will help bring warmer air to our area by Wednesday.

Tuesday, we start to warm up due to southwesterly winds gusting up to 25+mph. Wednesday afternoon, we could see a quick snow shower move through. Friday through next week, temperatures look to stay in the 30s and 40s and maybe even some lower 50s. The warm up is on the way!!
