Above-average temperatures early next week
Posted
and last updated

We've made it through the coldest morning of the week! Omaha dropped to -15, breaking the old record for the date of -11.

This afternoon will be mostly sunny as we continue to slowly warm up our afternoons. Highs will be in the upper single digits in Omaha, but a few neighborhoods south of Omaha could hit the double digits!

Friday starts in the double digits below zero, likely breaking Omaha's record low for the date of -10 from 1918. Even though the wind will be light, wind chills will be around -25 to -15. As more kids head back to school, make sure you continue to dress them in extra layers and cover up as much skin as you can with hats, gloves, and scarves. Then, we warm into the upper teens in the afternoon with mostly sunny skies.

We stay above zero Saturday morning, then temperatures jump into the low 30s for the afternoon with a lot of sunshine.

The warm-up continues Sunday into the mid 40s, which is actually just a touch above average.

Monday could get a little breezy, but the warm-up continues to about 50!

Tuesday will be in the mid 50s with a few more clouds late in the day.

Rain is looking likely Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, but we should still get close to 50 Wednesday afternoon.
