The drop in temperature behind this cold front has prompted yet another First Alert Weather Day. We’ll go from highs in the upper-70s, to high temperatures around 60 degrees. Also, we’ll have passing showers and thick cloud cover throughout the day, keeping our temperatures from being able to warm up.

Storm chances are also in the forecast before 9 a.m. as a system moves easterly through our region with winds elevated throughout the day.

A First Alert Weather Day has been issued for the Tri-State Area through Friday afternoon due to wind gusts of 40-50 mph.

Our winds will also be a bit breezy, but nothing like we saw Tuesday night and into Wednesday. The National Weather Service has put much of Siouxland under a Winter Weather Advisory starting this evening until 6 PM Friday. We will likely see this Winter Weather Advisory be upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning.
