Southeast Nebraska, southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri until 4 a.m. Sunday. This includes Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln.
Friday is the deadline for Congress to agree on big spending cuts. If they don't then automatic cuts kick in. It's called the "sequester” and the White House is launching a state-by-state campaign to pressure lawmakers.
A new report out Sunday says the sequester would cost Nebraska nearly $3 million in funding for education. The state would lose $15 million in Air Force base operation funding and $1 million in Army funding.
The White House says Iowa could lose up to $ 6.5 million in funding for primary and secondary education. Around 1,000 fewer students would get work-study jobs. As far as military cuts, Army base operations would be cut by about $1.5 million.
