  • A wetter pattern this week
  • Cooler over Easter Weekend

FORECAST

It will stay warm in Omaha after a day near 90 again this afternoon. A few isolated thunderstorms may try and pop up in western Iowa this evening. If you are in Nebraska, it will stay dry. Temps tonight will hold in the upper 50s.

It gets breezy by early Tuesday morning as a cold front moves into the region. We'll stay mostly cloudy and breezy on Tuesday, with 50s in the morning and low 60s in the afternoon.

Wednesday will be our first of two rounds of rain for this week, and the whole day may be rainy. With the clouds and rain, temperatures will be colder, in the 40s. There is a chance some melting snow mixes in with the rain far north of Omaha, where air temps will be in the 30s all day. This rain mostly comes to an end Wednesday night.

Some rain may linger into Thursday. Otherwise its cloudy and staying cool with temps in the upper 40s.

More rain moves in for Friday, and a few thunderstorms may be possible, too. Some of this rain may become heavier at times. Friday's temps will reach the 50s to low 60s.

We want to be careful not to promise this much rainfall, but the models are giving the region around 0.50" to 1.50" of rain this week. Some could see more.

This rain will continue into Saturday morning of this upcoming Easter weekend, but the second half of Saturday is trending drier, just cloudy.

For now, Easter Sunday looks partly cloudy and mostly dry, in the mid 50s which is near normal for early April.
