3 Things to Know

Strong to severe storms possible Monday evening
Wet week with several rain chances
Cooler weather, in the 70s!

Forecast

The start of our Monday afternoon will be fairly dry, most of the morning storms we saw are out of the area. The strong winds will remain from the SSE, continuing to pull up more warmth and moisture into the area. The start of our afternoon is giving us a lot of ingredients necessary for severe weather, the energy necessary will be very dependent on how much sun we see before the event.

The storms will follow a cold front, with severe risks beginning as soon as 4PM. This broken line of storms should sweep through Omaha between 7-9 PM, and weaken after 10 PM over Iowa. The main risks of these storms will be large hail and damaging winds, but a tornado or two cannot be ruled out.

Rain lingers into Tuesday, mostly south of I-80. Temperatures fall back to around 70 as cooler air surges back in, and it remains a theme through the rest of the week.

Rain moves back to encompass everyone by Wednesday into Thursday. A few storms are possible Wednesday evening, but no severe weather is expected. Both days will be in the mid-70s.

Friday continues the wet-weather theme, and these showers will linger into the weekend. In total, the region could see 1-4" of rain, but a few spots could see higher amounts. The flood threat is one to watch, particularly if storms run over the same areas over and over.
