A weak cold front will move into eastern Nebraska overnight, accompanied by scattered storms. Most of the rain will be north of I-80 overnight, and mainly northwest of Omaha. Parts of northeast Nebraska could see heavy rainfall overnight, but flooding, and severe weather is not expected. Most of the overnight rain should clear up before the Tuesday morning commute. Only a couple of spotty rain showers will be left lingering over, and lows will be near 70.
We'll continue dodging some hit and miss rain Tuesday, but most of us will be dry throughout the day. Thanks to the weak cold front, it won't be as hot in the afternoon, with highs only in the low 90s, and a heat index around 95.
Spotty thunderstorms will become possible again late Tuesday evening until before sunrise on Wednesday morning. Once again, a few of these storms could produce large hail and strong winds, including heavy rainfall, mainly south of Omaha.
A spotty shower can't be ruled out Wednesday, but it's possible we stay dry all day. It will get warm again, with highs in the low 90s, feeling like 95, or hotter.
A stronger cold front arrives Thursday, sending highs down into the upper 80s, and providing us a better chance for widespread rain and storms across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa Thursday afternoon and evening. These storms could be strong to severe, but should clear out of the region early Thursday night.
Friday will be drier, and a lot more comfortable with lower humidity. More importantly, there's less heat! Highs will be in the low 80s with mostly sunny skies, with lows Friday night in the upper 50s.
Labor Day weekend looks very nice with lower humidity and highs in the low/mid 80s on Saturday and Sunday. Both days will be mostly sunny and morning temperatures could dip into the 50s.
