OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Residents in Nebraska and Iowa woke up to bitterly cold conditions Tuesday morning, leading to slick streets that contributed to multiple crashes in the Omaha area.
The National Weather Service issued a wind chill warning for parts of 13 counties in central, east-central and south-central Nebraska, with wind chills near 30 below zero that could cause frostbite on exposed skin in under 10 minutes.
The warning covered the cities of Grand Island, Hastings, York, Loup City and Central City, among others.
High temperatures for Tuesday were expected to climb only into the single digits around Grand Island and up to 10 degrees in Omaha and western Iowa.
