3 Things to Know

Stretch of warm weather continues
Breezy Friday & Saturday, wildfire risk
Rain chances late this weekend, early next week

Forecast:

We will see a few more clouds around tonight and on Friday, and the wind begins to pick up out from the south, too. Gusts on Friday could reach 25-35 MPH around Omaha. Gust across central to eastern Nebraska may be around 45 MPH. It will be another warm day, nearly 20 degrees above normal, in the low 80s.

For now, the weekend looks mostly dry in Omaha, with the rain staying west, closer to central Nebraska. Although, Columbus, York and Norfolk could see a few hit-and-miss showers. Things stay warm and windy over the weekend with highs in the 70s and breezy winds around 25-30 MPH.

Trends are now that the weekend rain may hold off until even later into Monday, and now could spill into Tuesday. So, Monday may begin dry, but ends with scattered rain in the evening.

This storm system also brings a cool-down with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s starting on Monday and lasting through the week.

For any Halloween plan about 8 days from today, the outlook is dry and mild for now.
