It will be a mostly cloudy, smoky and chilly evening around Omaha. There is wildfire smoke in our air from Canada, reducing our air quality to unhealthy for those with sensitive respiratory systems range.
It will get chilly overnight! Omaha will fall into the 40s Thursday morning for the first time this season.
Thursday will be partly cloudy and warmer with mid 70s and lower humidity. While it will be a drier day, wildfire smoke will continue to impact air quality at times.
Another cold front moves in Thursday night. This one will bring some hit and miss storms, arriving from the north, mainly after 8pm. A lot of this rain will stay mainly stay in our western Iowa neighborhoods. This cold front will also clear out the wildfire smoke.
There could be a couple leftover showers south of I-80 Friday morning, but the rest of us will be mostly sunny and dry as the day gets going. It will be breezy as cooler air moves in behind the front, dropping highs into the upper 60s for Friday afternoon, followed by low to mid 40s heading into Saturday morning. Omaha's record low for 9/6 is 43º, set in 1956.
Saturday will be mostly sunny with highs only in the upper 60s over western Iowa, and nearing 70 over much of eastern Nebraska. If you're heading to the Huskers/Zips game in Lincoln, highs will be in the low 70s there.
Sunday will start cold again, near record lows in the low to mid 40s, before warming back up to low 70s in the afternoon with more sunshine.
Clouds will slowly start to move in as things begin to warm back up to normal next week. Monday will be partly cloudy with a very small chance at rain, and mid 70s, followed by upper 70s on Tuesday.
We'll keep the chance for rain around for next Wednesday, with highs nearing 80.
