Omaha is getting one more summer-like afternoon before the weather takes a distinctly cooler, wetter turn. Thursday will reach the mid to upper 70s, with a few locations approaching 80, while rain chances build Sunday night and Monday.
Early Thursday starts clear, with patchy fog possible in spots before 9 a.m. The fog should burn off as temperatures rise, setting up a warm and mostly quiet day across the metro.
Fog Burns Off Before A Warm Afternoon
Thursday’s south-southeast winds will stay light at 2 to 8 mph, and the forecast calls for almost no chance of rain. Temperatures may reach the mid to upper 70s, with a few locations approaching 80, making this a strong day for outdoor plans.
The latest outlook updates Hoodline’s earlier forecast with a warmer Thursday and a clearer timeline for the next round of rain. Friday will remain mild near 78 degrees, but the wind becomes the main story.
Friday Brings The Wind
South-southeast winds will run 9 to 16 mph Friday, with gusts reaching about 26 mph in Omaha and 30 to 40 mph in parts of the broader region. Those stronger gusts could create limited fire-weather concerns around dry vegetation and cured fields, even though no watches or warnings are in effect for the Omaha area.
Saturday stays warm near 74 degrees with partly sunny skies, while Sunday highs will be in the 50s and 60s, according to National Weather Service.
Rain Arrives As Temperatures Slide
The pattern changes Sunday night, when rain showers become possible after 7 p.m. Monday could bring additional showers, with highs in the 50s and 60s.
Drizzle or showers may linger Monday night as temperatures fall to around 58 degrees. Tuesday brings a chance of drizzle.
