Wednesday will start in the mid 30s, but we quickly climb into the mid 50s for the afternoon in Omaha, putting us more than 10 degrees above average. It is still running a few degrees cooler east of the metro western Iowa, but parts of eastern Nebraska will be even warmer, in the upper 50s to near 60. We get to enjoy a lot of sunshine with the warmer weather.
The warm-up continues Thursday with highs in the low 60s and mostly sunny skies. Omaha could break 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 a lot of sunshine, but clouds move in during the second half of the day as we only warm in the lower 50s. Most of us stay dry, but there could be some light rain or a few snowflakes southeast of Omaha late Friday night and overnight, mainly southeast of the Metro.
We could still see a few scattered rain and snow showers Saturday morning while temperatures are near 32 degrees, but should taper off as the day goes on. Saturday will be breezy and much colder, with highs closer to average for December. We'll be in the low 40s with a mix of sunshine and clouds.
The wind lightens up Sunday, but we'll still be near 40 with on and off sunshine.
Monday will be a touch warmer with mid 40s. Another cooldown arrives Tuesday, putting our highs in the upper 30s.
