OMAHA — Omaha gets a sunny, breezy Veterans Day with a high near 60, and then the cold settles in. The National Weather Service says the city will likely see its first freezing temperatures of the season Friday morning, which would tie 2015 for the latest first freeze on record, according to its overnight forecast discussion. No watches, warnings or advisories were in effect for Douglas County at 7:48 a.m. CT, per the NWS hazards page.

Anyone heading to an outdoor observance today should expect northwest gusts as high as 25 mph in Omaha's point forecast; the discussion puts gusts across the region at 25 to 35 mph. Highs drop into the mid 40s Thursday and stay in the 40s through Sunday. The point forecast lists a low around 25 Thursday night, and the discussion expects freezing temperatures again Saturday morning. The work week stays dry. The discussion gives a 15 to 30% chance of rain on Sunday, with only a few hundredths of an inch expected.
