Narrative:
We were on visual to 32L in oma on speed and path. While making the turn onto final at FAF; the aircraft started leveling off at FAF; so I dialed down a lower altitude and vertical speed. I noticed as we rolled onto final we were below glideslope. I started to level off and got a GPWS glideslope and caution terrain alert. I added power; leveled off; and quickly got back on glideslope. After on glideslope and thinking about it; I realized I should have gone around since it was night.
