Saturday will be even warmer and record highs are likely across the region. Highs will be in the low 90s across all of eastern Nebraska. Western Iowa will reach the upper 80s. The record high for Omaha is 87. This will likely be the earliest Omaha has reached 90 degrees, and the warmest day ever in March.
The air will be EXTREMELY dry, with humidity values of 8-13%. Hold off on burning any brush piles and be careful with BBQ grills and fire pits. Saturday's wind will be round 10-25 mph.
The second half of this weekend will be cooler and breezy with highs dropping in the low 60s by Sunday afternoon. As of now, no rain comes from this cool-down. Winds will be gusting out from the north at 25-40 mph.
