Rain Returns This Weekend, Here's the Latest Timing and Amounts

Omaha temperatures to stay cooler than average

and last updated

Temperatures overnight will not get as cold, but we should be near 60 in many areas by Friday morning.

Friday starts with a lot of sunshine, but more clouds move in during the afternoon. A few spotty showers may try to develop Friday afternoon, but many spots will likely stay dry through the evening as we warm up into the low 80s again.

Rain may be able to hold off until after the evening, but showers and non-severe storms become more likely and widespread after 10 p.m. and into Saturday morning. We'll be dodging scattered rain and storms for most of Saturday, so have an indoor backup plan for any outdoor events. A few storms may be strong over southeastern Nebraska in the late afternoon, capable of damaging wind. When dry, it will be a cloudy day with highs only in the mid 70s.

More scattered rain and thundershowers will be possible on Sunday, but there will be some extra dry-time throughout the day, keeping some neighborhoods drier. It will be another mostly cloudy day with highs in the upper 70s.

Weekend rain totals of 0.25 to 0.5 inches will be common, but areas that get hit by multiple storms could easily push over an inch.

We'll start out next week with some isolated rain chances on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. When dry, it will be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 80s to begin the week.

Things will start to dry out and we begin warming up, back to near normal, with highs in the upper 80s by the end of next week.
