We reach the peak of the warmth on Monday with highs into the upper 70s. This would be the first time Omaha hits 70 this year. On average, our first 70-degree day is March 20. The record high for Monday is 77, set back in 1967. We achieve this warmth with some strong southerly wind (35 mph gusts), which could lead to high fire danger, avoid any outdoor burning.
A cold front drags us back down into the low 50s for Tuesday, but we are dry.
It's a brief cooldown. We are back into the 60s on Wednesday and then into the 70s on Thursday.
A strong storm system will pass through Nebraska and Iowa on Friday and Saturday. Both days will be windy with gusts as high as 40+ mph at times.
On Friday, we are on the warm side, which could mean scattered rain and storms. Whether these scattered storms pose a severe threat is uncertain, but we will monitor them.
On Saturday, we are on the cold side, which could mean some snow if enough moisture remains around. Again, details will come down to the exact track of the storm system and will be monitored in the coming days.
