Nebraska Iowa – Residents across Omaha, NE, and neighboring Council Bluffs, IA, face a noticeable weather transition this week. A brief warmup will give way to cooler afternoons and increasingly chilly nights.
According to the National Weather Service Omaha/Valley office, temperatures will reach approximately 62 degrees Sunday, Nov. 8, under sunny skies.
Conditions at Omaha's Eppley Airfield were near 42 degrees early Sunday, with calm winds and high humidity.
The immediate weather concern involves patchy fog developing early Monday, followed by a significant temperature swing through Wednesday.
Monday Warmup Brings 69 Degrees and Morning Fog Monday, Nov. 9, could feel unusually comfortable for November.
The National Weather Service expects sunshine and a high near 69 degrees.
However, patchy fog is possible before 8 a.m., potentially affecting visibility around the Missouri River corridor.
Drivers traveling Interstate 80, Interstate 29 and Interstate 480 should remain alert for localized visibility changes if fog develops.
Allow extra time where visibility becomes limited.
South winds of 5 7 mph should become light and variable during the afternoon.
Monday night brings mostly clear skies, with temperatures falling toward 41 degrees.
Tuesday Begins the Cooling Trend Tuesday, Nov. 10, remains sunny, but temperatures retreat to approximately 61 degrees.
That's an eight degree decline from Monday's expected high.
Calm winds should keep conditions relatively comfortable for outdoor activities.
Tuesday night brings partly cloudy skies and temperatures near 44 degrees.
The warm afternoons offer an opportunity to finish leaf cleanup, secure outdoor decorations and prepare gardens for colder weather.
Veterans Day Brings a Noticeable Change Wednesday, Nov. 11, marks another step toward colder November conditions.
Veterans Day should remain mostly sunny, with temperatures reaching approximately 57 degrees.
Northwest winds of 5 9 mph could gust to 17 mph.
Residents attending outdoor ceremonies should consider bringing an additional layer, particularly during the morning.
By Wednesday night, temperatures are expected to fall toward 38 degrees.
That creates a 31 degree difference between Monday's high and Wednesday night's low.
Thursday Night Approaches Freezing Thursday, Nov. 12, brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 50 degrees.
The more notable change arrives Thursday night, when temperatures fall toward 33 degrees.
That's just one degree above freezing.
Sensitive outdoor plants could become vulnerable if temperatures dip below the projected low in individual neighborhoods.
However, the supplied forecast does not indicate precipitation, snow or a flash freeze event during this period.
Friday brings sunshine and a modest rebound to approximately 53 degrees.
