After a cold end to the week, temperatures quickly rise on Saturday with highs going back above average! The high in Omaha is 47, while cities like Lincoln and Falls City will push past 50 degrees.
Much of the day on Sunday will be dry and even more mild, with highs in the Omaha metro in the middle 50s, while our southern counties could make a run at 60. After sunset on Sunday, widespread showers and a few thunderstorms begin to work their way into the region, lasting through the morning commute on Monday. The axis of heaviest rainfall will be Omaha and to the east, where some rainfall totals over 1" is possible. Given the amount of moisture, flooding threat at this time looks low as the river levels are low due to the drought.
While everyone has a chance of hearing thunder, there is the small chance of a few strong storms south of Lincoln. A few of the strong storms could produce some hail and gusty winds, but the severe threat is low for our region.
The rain moves out by noon on Monday, but winds will be strong with gusts up to 40 mph possible. We could see some late day sunshine by the afternoon as highs push into the upper 40s.
Tuesday will be back near 50 with a slight chance for some rain, but most will stay dry.
Wednesday will be another day in the 50s, but we cool down by Thursday.
