We cool off into the mid to upper 60s for Thursday morning. A few areas of patchy fog with low visibility are possible again, too.
Thursday will be sunny and near-average for this time of August, in the upper 80s over eastern Nebraska, and mid 80s over western Iowa. The afternoon heat index will be a little lower, in the low 90s for the afternoon as well.
Friday will start with a lot of sunshine. Then, we'll start to see a few more clouds pop up in the afternoon as our next cold front begins to move in from the northwest. As the cold front arrives in the evening and night, scattered storms will become more common. The storms won't be for everyone, but more than half the region should see some rain. A couple of the storms could reach severe levels with strong wind and a few pockets of hail possible.
Behind the cold front, much cooler and less humid weather will move in for the weekend. Saturday will be partly cloudy with highs in the low 80s. There could be a couple leftover spotty showers in the region, but most of us will be dry.
Sunday will be in the upper 70s with a lot of sunshine and low humidity. An isolated shower could pop up during the day, but most stay dry.
Thanks to the lower humidity early next week, our mornings will be able to cool off into the 50s in Omaha! Neighborhoods farther north and into southwest Iowa could even wake up to 40s.
Monday and Tuesday afternoons will be mostly sunny with mid 70s, followed by a slight chance for rain by next Wednesday.
