OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Nebraskans are bundling up for the latest arctic blast to sweep the state this winter.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for much of the state, and predicts that a winter system starting in the west will bring a couple of inches of new snow to central Nebraska. Parts of eastern Nebraska, including Omaha, could see more than 5 inches of snow by Sunday morning.

The weather service is also warning of dangerous wind chills as the latest system brings with it strong gusts and bitterly cold temperatures.

The service says temperatures are not expected to climb out of the lower teens on Saturday, and overnight temperatures are expected to fall well below zero. Wind chills overnight into Sunday are expected to bottom out around 30-below.
