3 THINGS TO KNOW:
- Mild weather for New Years Eve, despite some AM fog
- Another cool-down on New Year's Day
- Staying rain and snow-free for a few days
FORECAST:
It's not too rough weather-wise this evening with temperatures in the 30s. We drop down into the upper 20s overnight. Some dense fog may develop over western Iowa, with it being more patchy in Nebraska.
Unlike Christmas, we expect this fog to lift off quickly through the morning, leading to a lot of sunshine in the afternoon. This will help to propel temps into the 40s and 50s across the region, with the warmer weather the farther west you live!
A cool front will bring in some clouds by the evening, but this should not impede the downtown Omaha fireworks around 7 pm (temp: 39 degrees), or any festivities at midnight (temp: 28).
This cool front will bring in some colder, more seasonal weather for the New Year, with Thursday and Friday seeing highs in the 30s.
By the weekend, more sunshine will coincide with the warmer weather. Sunday could see highs in the 40s and 50s, and this continues into early next week.
We also enter a dry spell, with no chance for any rain or snow in the next 7 days. Trends show that our first precip chance will not be until mid-to-late next week, at the earliest.
