3 Things to Know
- Chance for rain remains low
- Windy, near record highs this weekend
- A cool down by next week!
Forecast
We've got another mild morning here with temps in the lower 50s and some partly cloudy skies! Going into the rest of our Thursday, we'll see very similar temps to Wednesday and Tuesday, possibly just a couple of degrees cooler.
A few rain showers may be possible late Thursday night and Friday morning. The chance at rain is around 20-30% and will be best seen across northern Nebraska/Iowa. Here in Omaha, we have a very good chance at remaining dry overnight.
The wind begins to pick up out form the south on Friday and temps will be a lot warmer, reaching the mid 80s with mostly sunny skies.
Even with all of that rain we had last week, the combination of gusty 30+ MPH winds this weekend and very dry air means we will have elevated wildfire conditions. Please avoid burning any brush piles or fire pits this weekend.
We'll be close to some record highs over the weekend, too!
Records:
FRI - 88
SAT - 91
SUN - 91
MON - 95
For now, those records look to be safe with highs in the mid 80s on Saturday and Sunday, but give us context on how warm it will be!
A "pattern change" will occur next week thanks to a multi-day storm system starting around Tuesday. This could bring a few rounds of spotty rain and windy conditions around Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It's too early to know rain amounts yet.
A cool-down for the second half of next week is expected, where high temps are expected to dip into the 50/60s after Wednesday. If skies are clear enough later next week, we should be cool enough in the upper 30s for Omaha's first frost of the fall season (Oct 16-19th).
