Forecast:

Our next round of rain will begin moving into the region from the west this evening. Omaha will likely remain dry through 8-9 PM. This rain will become widespread after midnight and continues into Thursday morning where we could have a few non-severe thunderstorms south of Omaha/I-80 in the morning.

The rain likely continues through Thursday morning before slowly clearing up late Thursday afternoon. Thursday evening appears dry for now. It will start to get windy as the rain clears out with northwest winds gusting to 35+ MPH.

Rain totals will be around 0.25-0.50" on average for most. For areas south of Omaha closer to the Kansas and Missouri border, rain amounts could be around 0.50-1.00".

Sunshine looks to return on Friday and we'll see a lot of it over the coming weekend. It stays windy and cool on Friday with highs in the 50s and gusts up to 45 MPH. this gusty wind should settle Friday night.

The first frost of the season appears likely Friday night as temps across the whole Omaha region dip in the low to mid 30s. A freeze does not appear likely at this time. However, there may be a few areas that dip below 32 degrees by Saturday morning. Cover up, or bring inside plants that are sensitive to frost and cold weather. This will be our only chance at a frost over the next 10 days.

The dry time continues into the weekend with temps in the 60s on Saturday, and it may still be a little breezy out. We get more sunshine and slightly warmer weather, in the lower 70s Sunday!

Next week looks warmer than average and partly sunny with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. There may be some more rain later next week.
