Here's the Updated Timing for the Rain

Briefly cooler to end the week

and last updated

Even with a lot more clouds today, we should get a little warmer, thanks to a little more wind out of the south. This should warm a number of cities across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, including Omaha, close to 60 degrees.

Skies will clear some overnight, letting in some sunshine Thursday morning as we start the day in the upper 30s.

Clouds move back in Thursday afternoon with highs in the upper 50s. Late in the afternoon, rain will start to move in from the south from Kansas, but may not reach Omaha until early Thursday night. Cities farther north have the best chance of staying dry.

The scattered rain will continue overnight and into the Friday morning commute, and it could change into wet snow before ending. While Omaha should be dry by lunch, some cities farther south could still see some rain or wet snow early in the afternoon. The second half of the day will be mostly cloudy, cooler, and windy with highs in the mid 40s.

Rain totals of 0.1" to 0.25" will be common along and south of I-80, but some spots south of I-80 could get around 0.5" or more.

The sunshine is back Saturday, but it stays cool and breezy with low 50s.

Clocks "spring forward" Saturday night, which is also a good time to check or replace the batteries in your weather radio, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke alarms.

We warm back up quickly early next week! Sunday will be mostly sunny with low 60s.

Monday will be in the upper 60s with a lot of sunshine, followed by low 70s Tuesday.
