We'll start your Thursday with some morning sunshine, and it will be a quick warm-up! Temperatures will start the day already in the mid 70s, and reach near 90 in the afternoon, with the humidity making it feel even hotter.
Clouds will be on the increase as we get into the afternoon as a cold front starts to move into eastern Nebraska. The cold front will kick off a line of rain and storms that will move from northwest to southeast through the area. Storms will start to move into northeast Nebraska around 2 p.m., then move southeast towards I-80, arriving in Omaha and Lincoln around and towards the end of the evening commute. A couple of the storms could use the heat of the day to energize and become strong enough for some pockets of hail and strong wind. While not likely, a tornado in western Iowa is not impossible.
By 9 p.m., the rain and storms should be southeast of the Omaha metro, but they could take until about 2 or 3 a.m. to get out of northwest Missouri, far southeast Nebraska, and far southwest Iowa.
Thursday's cold front will make for a very nice stretch of weather! Friday will be in the low 80s with much lower humidity and a lot of sunshine.
The lower humidity will make for comfortable afternoons this weekend and cooler mornings. Saturday starts in the upper 50s, then we warm into the mid 80s with mostly sunny skies in the afternoon.
Even cooler weather blows in Sunday, holding us back closer to 80 degrees in the afternoon with a lot of sunshine.
The sunny and nice weather continues for Labor Day with upper 70s.
We stay mostly sunny Tuesday with low 80s.
