Omaha starts Sunday beneath clear skies, with temperatures in the mid-50s and a cool breeze from the north. Sunshine is expected through the afternoon, with a high near 71 degrees and no rain in the forecast.

Sunny Sunday Leads Into A Warmer Week

The National Weather Service’s Omaha/Valley office expects the week to stay mostly dry. Highs are forecast near 72 degrees Monday and 78 Tuesday. Winds should be light much of the time, though Monday’s south wind could gust to around 16 mph.

Clear Nights, Brief Shower Chance Later

Sunday night is forecast to be clear, with temperatures falling to around 49 degrees. Wednesday should be sunny with a high near 75.

Saturday Looks Warm And Breezy

Saturday’s high could reach 79 degrees under sunny skies. South winds of 9 to 16 mph may gust to 26 mph, bringing a breezier feel to outdoor plans.

What the Forecast Says About Fall Freezes

The National Weather Service Omaha/Valley office defines a freeze as air temperature at 32°F or lower. That threshold is useful context, but this week’s forecast does not establish when Omaha typically sees its first autumn freeze or how much that timing varies. For broader context, the Nebraska State Climate Office reports both long- and short-term warming in Nebraska’s fall months, defined as September through November. That statewide finding provides climate context but does not determine when freezing conditions will next occur in Omaha.

For Sunday, expect a cool start, a sunny afternoon and a clear night; a light jacket may be useful after sunset.
