and last updated

The warm-up continues Thursday with highs near 60 and mostly sunny skies. Omaha could be near the current record high for the date of 61, set in 1918.

This time of year, big warm-ups are very sort lived. A cold front will arrive Thursday night, cooling us off into the weekend.

Friday starts with sunshine, but clouds will move in during the afternoon. It will still be a mild December day in the mid 50s.

Most of us stay dry during the day, but there could be some light rain southeast of Omaha late Friday evening and overnight, mainly southeast of the Metro.

Temperatures should stay warm enough to keep everything as just rain, but a few snow flakes may mix in early Saturday morning southeast of the Metro, into southwest Iowa. Less than an inch of snow is expected with this system as it will likely melt.

Saturday will be a cloudy and breezy day with lots of clouds. It will be back to the colder weather, in the upper 30s to near 40.

The wind lightens up Sunday, but we'll still be near 40 with sunshine.

We will start next week average for mid December with some sunshine, in the low 40s.
