OMAHA, Neb. — Eastern Nebraska will get one more afternoon that feels more like October than November before temperatures slide nearly 40 degrees and bring freezing conditions back into the region late this week.
Omaha is forecast to reach about 70 degrees Monday, Nov. 9, under sunny skies, while communities along and south of Interstate 80 could also make a run into the 70s. The unusually mild start comes with little meaningful rain in sight for the rest of the week.
The cooling begins Tuesday.
Omaha should still reach around 62 degrees Tuesday before highs fall to about 55 on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11. Northwest winds could gust to approximately 23 mph Wednesday as cooler air becomes increasingly established across eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa.
By Thursday, the change becomes much more noticeable.
The National Weather Service forecasts a high near 45 degrees in Omaha Thursday — roughly 25 degrees colder than Monday afternoon. Temperatures then fall to around 29 degrees Thursday night , setting up the first widespread late week concern for frost or freezing conditions.
Friday remains chilly despite sunshine, with Omaha expected to reach only about 46 degrees. Friday night temperatures could hover around freezing before a modest recovery begins Saturday.
The National Weather Service Omaha/Valley office said early morning frost or freezing temperatures are possible Friday and Saturday. Forecast lows across the region show many communities dropping into the upper 20s and lower 30s during the coldest portion of the stretch.
For gardeners and anyone with remaining sensitive outdoor vegetation, the late week mornings will be the period to watch most closely.
Otherwise, the weather pattern is remarkably quiet.
Rain chances in Omaha remain near zero through most of the week, with only a very small chance Wednesday. Sunshine should dominate again Thursday through Saturday as cooler, drier air settles across the region.
Temperatures begin recovering during the weekend, with Omaha forecast near 53 Saturday and approaching 60 again Sunday.
The bigger story, however, comes first: Monday's near 70 degree warmth will be replaced by subfreezing temperatures in Omaha in roughly four days.
