We continue to dodge a few spotty and light showers early this afternoon, keeping some cities along and north of I-80 mostly cloudy and a touch cooler. The rain should end by mid afternoon, letting in more sunshine later in the day. Some of the sun will be blocked by smoke high in the sky which is blowing in from wildfires in the western United States. Luckily, most of it will stay above us, which means there shouldn't be much of an impact to air quality. With the help of the wind out of the south around 15-30 mph, we will still manage to warm up to about 90 degrees across eastern Nebraska. Western Iowa will run a touch cooler.
While the afternoons stay hot, the low humidity will let our mornings cool off nicely. Wednesday will start near 60 in Omaha, but outside of the city, a lot of neighborhoods will drop into the 50s.
Wednesday afternoon will be mostly sunny, hot, and breezy. Highs will be near 90 in Omaha with wildfire smoke still high in the sky.
The hot weather continues Thursday, but the wind should start to lighten up. It will be mostly sunny with highs flirting with 90.
We cool off a little more Friday with mid 80s and a lot of sunshine.
The mid 80s continue Saturday with a couple of clouds, but it looks like we'll stay dry.
Sunday will be mostly sunny with mid 80s, and we'll keep the mid 80s to start the next workweek.
