Clouds start to move back in Saturday morning, and the wind will begin to pick back up. The afternoon will be mostly cloudy, windy, and cooler than Friday, with highs in the upper 40s in Omaha. That's still more than 10 degrees above average.
Sunday could start with a little sunshine, which at least gives Unadilla Billie a chance at seeing her shadow, but we'll have to wait and see. Either way, Sunday afternoon will still feel more like spring than winter. We turn mostly cloudy for the afternoon, but we will warm up into the mid 50s. The wind will be a lot lighter compared to the first half of the weekend too.
The recent warmer weather is letting some of the river ice melt and move a little more, increasing the threat a bit for ice jams along the Platte, Elkhorn, and Loup rivers. If you live in any of the low areas along these rivers, keep an eye on water levels, which can change quickly.
Just as we start to get used to the recent stretch of warmer weather, winter blows back in. Monday will be partly cloudy with a high close to 40.
Tuesday will be a little colder with mid 30s and mostly cloudy skies.
There could be a few sprinkles or spotty pockets of light rain Wednesday, keeping us mostly cloudy. Highs will be in the upper 30s.
A few raindrops or snowflakes can't be ruled out Thursday, but we should start to see more sunshine in the afternoon with low 30s.
Friday looks partly cloudy and a touch warmer with upper 30s.
