3 Things to Know
- Storms Tuesday night into Wednesday
- Temps closer to normal this week
- More rain possible over the weekend
Forecast
Thunderstorms will become scattered heading into Tuesday night as a cold front moves through the region. A few of these storm cells may attempt to become strong with gusty 45+ MPH winds and pockets of small hail. The main concern is isolated flooding as heavy rain could dump upwards of 1.0" to 2.5" of rain in one or two areas. As the front continues to head south tonight, the rain will remain widespread across southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa though Wednesday morning.
The rain will stick around for some on Wednesday morning, and it may take until noon for the rain to clear out from southeast Nebraska to southwest Iowa. Wednesday will eventually turn mostly sunny and milder with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, about 15-20 cooler than on Tuesday!
Thursday looks like a very nice day with sunshine! Morning temps will be in the 50s to low 60s, and and highs in the low 80s, which is now around Omaha's average high for early September.
Friday could get pretty warm as another system moves into the region. Temps by the afternoon could get to near 90 degrees, and there may be more thunderstorms Friday evening and Friday night as another cold front moves through the region.
This weekend does have some more rain possible. After 6-8 AM, Saturday looks mostly dry, and partly cloudy with temps near 80. Some extra rain and storms can be expected late Saturday night and for much of the day on Sunday with highs in the upper 70s.
