Today will be windy and warmer with highs in the upper 70s. The wind will be around 40 mph at times this afternoon, creating a higher fire danger than normal, so hold off an any outdoor burning. We'll get some sunshine out at times, but there will be a lot of clouds. The wind will lighten up pretty quickly tonight.

After 8 p.m., we'll start dodging a few isolated storms, which continue overnight. The best chance for a storm is south of Omaha, but anyone could get hit by some rain overnight. A few spotty showers could last into the morning commute as we cool off into the upper 40s.

Tuesday starts with a lot of clouds, but we will see a lot more sunshine in the afternoon. It will be breezy and a little cooler, with highs in the upper 60s.

We drop into the mid 60s Wednesday with a mix of sunshine and clouds. There could be a few spotty showers to dodge Wednesday night, but many of us stay dry.

It gets breezy and warmer again Thursday as we push into the low 70s.

Late Thursday, some scattered rain and storms will start to push into the region. The rain will be a lot more widespread by Friday morning. The showers and storms will continue on and off the rest of the day. Some of these could even be strong to severe. We'll have a better idea on storm timing and threats later in the week. It will also be breezy with highs in the mid 70s.

Saturday looks like the best part of the weekend to get outside, which is perfect timing for the Huskers spring game. Most of the day will be dry with highs in the low 70s.

Another round of rain and storms will start to move in Saturday night and continues at times Sunday. Highs will be near 70.
