Omaha, Neb. – Thunderstorms are expected to strike Omaha late Friday, bringing wet roads, gusty winds, and delays on major routes like I-480 just in time for the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop after 4 p.m. Friday, July 11, with chances topping 70%. Winds from the south-southeast could gust up to 16 mph, making driving conditions slick and visibility low through early evening. Total rainfall could reach up to half an inch.
Storm chances will continue into Friday night before skies clear for a much drier weekend. Saturday brings a high of 83°F under mostly sunny skies, with calm winds shifting from the north. Sunday heats up again to 88°F with full sunshine — ideal for outdoor plans, but residents should stay hydrated and limit midday exposure.
Next week starts hot and unsettled. Monday climbs to 91°F with a slight chance of storms by evening. That storm threat increases Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs near 90°F and daily chances for showers and thunderstorms — especially during the afternoons.
⚠️ Travelers should avoid flooded roadways and check road conditions via Nebraska 511. Ensure devices are charged before Friday’s storms and have flashlights ready.
