We continue to heat up today with mostly sunny skies. Mid 90s will be common in eastern Nebraska, including in Omaha. Western Iowa will be in the low 90s. The humidity will make it feel close to 100 late in the afternoon. If you're heading to the fireworks in Ralston tonight, we'll be in the low 80s around 10 o'clock.
The humidity keeps us warm overnight. We only fall into the low 70s for Friday morning.
Friday's rain continues to slow down, and I think we'll have a lot of dry holiday time! The 4th of July starts mostly sunny, and then we'll see more of a mix of sun and clouds as we go through the afternoon. Highs will be in the low 90s, and it will be breezy. By late afternoon, we'll start to see a couple isolated showers and storms pop up across the region, but most of us will be dry. The bulk of the storms will be moving in from the west at night, but there's now a better chance that they'll still be well to the west of the metro during the Omaha Symphony and fireworks show at Gene Leahy Mall.
This means there is now a better chance for showers and storms overnight and into Saturday morning. In fact, there could still be some rain around in the second half of Saturday too. This will keep us mostly cloudy with upper 80s.
Sunday will also be in the upper 80s, but a vast majority of us will be dry all day with more sunshine.
Hit and miss rain returns Monday, but there should be plenty of dry time mixed in as we warm up into the upper 80s.
Showers and storms will hit a lot more of our neighborhoods Tuesday with mid 80s.
We dry out Wednesday, letting us push back into the upper 80s.
