Omaha woke Wednesday to light rain, low clouds and north winds at 13–15 knots, with temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s before dawn. The gray start gives way to a mostly cloudy day topping out around 52, but the better weather story is waiting until the weekend.
Clouds And A Little More Rain
Rain should fade through Wednesday morning, though clouds will hang over the city for most of the day. Temperatures may slip back toward the upper 40s during the afternoon as north winds at KOMA ease, with gusts reaching around 22 mph.
Another chance of light rain arrives late Wednesday night and could linger into early Thursday. The National Weather Service Omaha/Valley office puts the chance of rain late Wednesday into Thursday at 20–40%, with the best odds before 8 a.m.; no watches or warnings are listed for Nebraska or Iowa, according to the National Weather Service.
Cool Finish Before The Weekend Rebound
Thursday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 52, followed by a chilly night around 39. Friday brings more breaks in the clouds and a mostly sunny high near 52, but temperatures drop to roughly 34 Friday night.
The forecast finally turns friendlier Saturday, when Omaha should see mostly sunny skies and a high near 55. Sunday looks like the weekend standout, with sunshine and temperatures climbing close to 60 before an even warmer Monday.
The calmer outlook is a notable change from the stormy conditions covered in Hoodline’s earlier report. For now, Wednesday calls for a jacket and patience, while Saturday and Sunday look much better suited for errands, football and outdoor plans.
