Windy with dropping temperatures

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Typically the highest temperatures on any given day are in the afternoon hours, but Thursday will not be a typical day. The highest readings are reached in the morning until early afternoon. A front will not only lower our temperatures, but it will also increase our winds dramatically.

Speaking of wind, a strong wind warning was issued for parts of northern Nebraska Thursday morning and into the afternoon hours. Gusts can reach up to 60 miles per hour. Meanwhile, a wind advisory has been issued for areas of eastern Nebraska (including Lincoln) where wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour may occur. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to hang Christmas decorations outside.

Again, these highs will occur early in the day, with low 40s north and mid 50s south.

Mostly clear, stormy and much colder Thursday night into Friday morning, with overnight lows in the single digits and teens.

Mostly to partly sunny and cold Friday with highs in the 20s and 30s, with a few lower 40s in far western Nebraska. It’s not that windy, but still a bit windy, which makes it colder, especially in the morning. North wind 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

Not so cold on Saturday and even a little milder on Sunday. Above average temperatures are expected Monday through Wednesday, with a slight chance of rain late Christmas Day.
