Any snow and ice that melted will freeze back up overnight as we cool off into the upper 20s for Wednesday morning. Watch for slick spots in parking lots, streets, and sidewalks. There could also be some low clouds and a few foggy areas to start the day.

The warm-up gets back underway Wednesday with highs in the upper 50s and a lot of sunshine! Winds will be a little breezier, too.

Thursday also looks great with mid 50s and a few more clouds. Most of the day looks dry, but we'll start to dodge some spotty rain late in the day, mainly south of I-80. Omaha should stay mostly dry.

Friday will be cloudy and breezy, but we still manage to hit the mid 50s. We'll have to dodge some light rain most of the day, but rain starts to become more likely into the evening and at night.

Rain will continue at times most of Saturday with the highest rain totals southwest of Omaha and the smallest totals farther northeast. It stays breezy with highs in the mid 50s.

Most of the rain should end Sunday morning, but the afternoon looks mostly cloudy and breezy with highs in the upper 40s.

In total, we could see around 0.50" to 1.00" rainfall from this upcoming storm system. The higher rain totals will be west of the Missouri River.

The combination of the warmer weather, melting, and upcoming rain will continue the threat for ice jams and flooding along some of our rivers. As the river ice continues to move, it could dam up and increase water levels. Keep a close eye on river levels if you live along the Elkhorn, Platte, or Loup rivers.

We'll cool off a little more Monday with mid 40s and a little more sunshine.
