Rain Returns Christmas Weekend

Warming Up
Posted
and last updated

It will be windy today as warmer weather blows in from the south! The wind will be strongest early in the afternoon, up to 40 mph, but won't really lighten up until the evening. Tie down any holiday decorations that could fly away. This will warm us into the upper 40s with more sunshine coming out for the afternoon.

We get chilly again tonight as we cool off into the upper 20s.

The warm-up gets put on hold Wednesday. We will be in the upper 40s with more clouds, but the wind will be a lot lighter.

Skies will become mostly cloudy Thursday as a storm system moves across the Heartland. Even with the extra clouds, we should warm into the low 50s. We may dodge a few spotty and light showers Thursday evening, but most of us stay dry.

We start to see a little more sunshine again Friday, helping to warm us into the mid 50s!

Saturday will also be partly cloudy and warm for late December, with highs in the mid 50s. While a lot of us stay dry, there will be some spotty rain to dodge.

Rain becomes more likely Sunday, so plan for wet roads for your Christmas Eve travel. We stay warm, but it will be breezy, with highs in the mid 50s.

The rain will likely continue at times on Christmas, but it's looking pretty unlikely for much of it to change into snow in our area. The western half of Nebraska has a much better chance for snow. With highs in the upper 40s in Omaha, it will be cooler, but still above average.
