OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - We’ve made Tuesday a First Alert 6 Weather Day due to the widespread rain all day followed by what now looks to be an increased potential for damaging wind tonight.

Rain will be steady the majority of the day today and that will cause temperatures to fall into the 40s rather quickly this morning as it moves in. An early high of 52 is what most of us in the metro will see.

Rain persists all day and into the night eventually resulting in some 1″ rain totals near and east of the river. That is before it moves out before 9am Wednesday.

Wind gusts are likely to spike to near 40 mph at times later this afternoon. Those likely pick up after sunset and surge to near 60 mph at times tonight. That is near severe T-storm strength and could do damage as you are sleep. Wet leave
