Monday will be mostly sunny and breezy with highs in the upper 50s. A few neighborhoods may reach the lower 60s.
We'll see some extra cloud cover on Tuesday and the wind should be calmer, with highs in the mid 50s.
Wednesday is Christmas Eve, and it's looking cloudy, but we keep the warmer air around. With temperatures in the upper 50s, if we are to see any light precipitation, it would be drizzle and rain.
Christmas Day is Thursday, and Omaha's chance for a "white Christmas" appears near zero...However, we are looking at potential record highs! Right now, we should be in the lower 60s, possibly warmer. The record high for Christmas Day is 57, set in 1946.
Friday may start out a little breezy as cooler air moves back into the region. We stay mostly sunny with highs in the lower 50s.
This weekend will continue the drier, and warmer than average pattern, but it will be a even cooler than this this past week. Saturday and Sunday will be partly sunny, i nthe upper 40s.
The next chance for any measurable precipitation, including rain or snow would be the weekend after Christmas. Until then, travel disruptions for the region appear low at this time.
