3 Things to Know

  • Hot & breezy this weekend
  • Scattered storms possible Saturday morning
  • Staying the low 90s next week

Forecast

Things will remain breezy with south winds at 15-25 MPH, and a little warm this evening. Overall, it should be a good night weather-wise with temps holding in the 70s.

Just before sunrise, there may be a few spotty thunderstorms across far northeast Nebraska and northwest Iowa as a warm front moves across the region in the morning. Rain will likely miss Omaha and places south of Omaha, but if you are north of the metro, where may be a few showers through noon.

It starts to get hot this weekend...After a cloudier Saturday morning start, the rest of the day will be partly sunny and breezy with highs in the low 90s. There's not a lot of humidity to deal with, but heat indices could reach 95-98. Winds will be gusty out from the south at 25-35 MPH, staying windy into Saturday night.

Sunday will be a HOT one! For now, we'll keep the chance at rain under 20-30%, with the small possibility of seeing spotty showers at any given point of the day. Skies will be partly sunny and it remains breezy with highs in the mid 90s. The heat index will again be around 95-98.

Things now are looking to remain very warm for all of next week. Daytime temps will be in the low 90s from Monday through Friday, but the modestly lower humidity should keep the heat index around only 95-97 degrees.

For now, the trends are that any rain will mostly dodge the Omaha region from Monday through Friday, but that a few isolated showers could clip parts of Northeast Nebraska or northwest Iowa at any point in the week. This rain would be mainly north of Omaha.
