The wind has shifted out of the south, which will help push the coldest air back to the north. Highs in Omaha should reach the mid 30s, getting us back to average! Neighborhoods west of the Omaha metro will be a little warmer with upper 30s to low 40s. Western Iowa will be a little cooler today, in the upper 20s and low 30s, but that is still a nice improvement from yesterday. After a lot of sunshine early in the afternoon, we'll see a few more clouds late in the day.
After some frigid mornings earlier in the week, we only drop into the mid 20s for Thursday morning.
The warm-up continues Thursday afternoon with mid 40s and a lot of sunshine.
Friday will be a little breezy at times, but we stay really nice with mid 40s and more sunshine than clouds.
Temperatures will tank this weekend as another shot of arctic air arrives. It will be breezy Saturday as the colder air blows in. This will keep highs in the low 20s with a few more clouds.
Sunday will start in the single digits, and we may only warm up to 10 in the afternoon. While frigid all day, at least the wind will be lighter with a lot of sunshine.
For the first time this season, Omaha could dip below zero Monday morning. The frigid weather continues Monday afternoon for the MLK holiday and Inauguration Day. It will be mostly sunny, but we may not even make it into the double digits.
We start to see some improvements Tuesday, but it likely starts below zero again. The afternoon will be in the low 20s with mostly sunny skies... and we should get back to the 30s for the second half of the week.
