Bitter cold descending on Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The National Weather Service is warning of bitter cold descending on several Midwest states, including Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and parts of Missouri, as a winter storm system dropped some snow, sleet and freezing rain on those areas early Tuesday. The weather service has issued a wind chill warning for much of western and northern Nebraska until noon Wednesday, with sub-zero temperatures and high winds combining to send the wind chill plummeting to a dangerous 40 below zero in some areas — including Chadron, Alliance and Broken Bow — by early Wednesday morning. Much of Kansas could see wind chills as low as 20 below, while most of Iowa and a northwest segment of Missouri were warned to expect wind chills around 15 below.
