Nebraska and western Iowa wake up to a gray 34-degree morning, with low clouds hanging over the Missouri River and a light chill in the air. A few brief showers may brush parts of the Omaha metro early, but the bigger headline is the rapid warm-up ahead.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley, there’s a 20% chance of light rain through midmorning, with skies staying mostly cloudy and highs climbing to 60 degrees. Light winds keep travel impacts minimal, though damp pavement could linger on I-80 and Highway 75.
Temperatures slip to around 37 degrees tonight under partly cloudy skies. That’s above freezing, but cooler pockets west of downtown could briefly dip enough for isolated slick spots on untreated surfaces.
Sunday turns sunny and noticeably warmer, with highs reaching 66 degrees. South winds increase to 5 to 9 mph by afternoon. It will feel more like late March than mid-February.
President’s Day continues the mild stretch with a high near 65 and partly sunny skies. The real spring preview arrives Tuesday, when highs soar to 74 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Winds could gust near 25 mph, adding a breezy edge to the warmth.
A slight rain chance returns Tuesday night, and another system late week could bring a rain-to-snow mix by Thursday night into Friday as highs cool back into the 40s.
Long-range trends keep temperatures running 10 to 20 degrees above average into late week. Are you ready for these early spring vibes across Omaha?
