Weekend Rain is Still Possible

We stay in the 50s next week

It starts to get a little breezy overnight and into Friday morning, but it won't be as chilly. Omaha likely only drops into the upper 30s under mostly cloudy skies.

We may see a little morning sunshine before clouds move in for the weekend. It will be a little windy, but we still manage to hit the low to mid 50s. A few spotty showers will be possible in the second half of the day, but most will stay dry heading into Friday evening. Scattered showers will develop overnight over eastern Nebraska.

Rain becomes more likely by midday Saturday, but with the system now shifting west, it looks like most of the rain will stay in eastern Nebraska, keeping western Iowa and northwest Missouri drier. Anyone could still get hit by some of the light rain late Saturday, though. Even with the clouds and rain, we stay well above average, in the mid 50s. It will also be windy with winds up to 40 mph.

Any leftover rain will start to move south and east Sunday morning. We stay mostly cloudy and breezy for the afternoon. It will also be a little cooler, with upper 40s.

We start to get more sunshine out Monday, helping to warm us into the low 50s.

Tuesday will also be a couple degrees warmer with mostly sunny skies, followed by mid 50s on Wednesday.

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.
