OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The snow has ended over the area, but we’re not out of the woods yet. Winds will drastically increase through the afternoon.

Due to the blowing snow, the National Weather Service has downgraded the metro from a Winter Storm Warning to a Winter Weather Advisory until midnight Saturday night. A few Iowa counties have also been downgraded as well.

Wind chills will drop steadily this afternoon too as the wind kicks up. Those will be in the single digits by sunset.

Overnight temperatures will drop off and we’ll continue the First Alert 6 Weather Days for Sund
