A Sunny Wednesday

Sunshine is forecast.

Thursday's high is forecast in the low-to-mid 70s.

Warmth Builds Into Friday And Saturday

Friday is expected to be warm, with highs in the 80s.

Saturday is expected to stay warm, with a high near 83 degrees and stronger south winds. Gusts around Omaha could reach 29 mph; stronger winds elsewhere in the region could raise fire-weather concerns in drier parts of Nebraska.

A dated gust comparison

The forecast calls for Saturday gusts up to 29 mph around Omaha. A separate National Weather Service Omaha/Valley climate summary recorded a highest gust speed of 22 mph on September 20, 2026. That dated observation is a comparison, not an October reading or a measure of typical or record gusts.

Warm Into Early Next Week

Sunday is expected to remain warm, with highs in the 80s. Highs in the 80s are possible Monday as well.
