Omaha is starting Monday clear and around 41 degrees, but the city is headed for a near-70 afternoon before a sharper chill takes over later this week. The good news: the forecast stays mostly dry, with sunshine carrying the early-week schedule.

The National Weather Service Omaha/Valley expects sunny skies Monday, with temperatures peaking near 70 before slipping through the 60s late in the afternoon. Monday night should be mostly clear with a low near 42, and no watches, warnings or advisories are in effect.

Warm Monday, Then A Noticeable Cooldown

Tuesday remains mostly sunny with a high near 62. A small shower chance arrives Wednesday morning, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 55 for Veterans Day.

Friday Morning Brings A Freeze Risk

The cooler pattern settles in Thursday, when Omaha should see mostly sunny skies and a high near 46. Thursday night falls to around 29, setting up a potentially freezing Friday morning before another sunny day near 46.

That colder finish is a notable shift from Hoodline's previous Omaha forecast, which focused on the weekend warmup. Frost-sensitive plants may need protection Thursday night, while the weekend brings a modest rebound with highs near 53 Saturday and in the 60s Sunday.
