FORECAST

A tornado watch is in effect for parts of northwest Missouri and southwest Iowa until 10 pm this evening. The severe weather threat should exit the Omaha region by 6pm.

A few stronger thunderstorms may be possible this afternoon. The area with greatest potential for severe weather will be mainly south and east of Omaha, in southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa, from 6pm. Damaging winds, large hail and brief tornadoes may be possible. Elsewhere, including Omaha, we will see mainly rain that lasts through 8-10pm Friday evening.

We won't see much more rainfall on Friday, around another 0.10" to 0.25" will be possible. This will put our totals around 1.00-1.50" in most areas this week!

Easter weekend starts out drier, cool and breezy, with highs on Saturday in the 40s.

A freeze, with frosty conditions is expected Sunday morning with temps in the mid to upper 20s, followed by temps in the upper 50s with sunshine and calmer winds in the afternoon.

Temps will stay near average for early April, in the 50s for the first few days of next week. There is a chance at rain next Monday and Wednesday. Another freeze is possible Tuesday morning.
