Omaha fell below freezing this morning for the first time this season, but our afternoons start to get warmer today. The wind is back out of the south, letting warmer weather blow in, but it will start to increase the fire danger. Continue to hold off on any outdoor burning, or anything that could start a fire, because it could spread quickly out of control. It will be mostly sunny as we push into the low 60s.
The wind won't be as strong overnight, but it will help us stay a little warmer into Thursday morning. Omaha will start the day in the low 40s.
The wind gets even stronger Thursday, around 20-40+ mph. The fire danger will be very high, but we also continue warming up. Highs will be in the mid 70s across eastern Nebraska and in the low 70s in western Iowa with mostly sunny skies.
We stay windy with a high fire danger Friday as we keep warming up. It will be mostly sunny with upper 70s.
The wind will be lighter over the weekend, but you'll still notice it at times. Otherwise, the weekend looks really nice. Saturday will have a few clouds as a handful of spotty showers from central Nebraska try to push into eastern Nebraska. Most of us will stay dry with highs in the mid 70s.
We stay in the mid 70s Sunday with mostly sunny skies.
There's finally a better chance for some rain to hit your backyard Monday, but it will be scattered, keeping a number of neighborhoods dry. With some rain around, there will be a lot more clouds. It will also be a little breezy with low 70s.
The low 70s continue Tuesday with a lot more sunshine.
