Omaha, Nebraska – Storms could develop across Omaha and much of eastern Nebraska Sunday afternoon, bringing heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds before skies clear to start the week. According to the National Weather Service, the highest storm risk runs from late morning through midafternoon, with rainfall amounts topping a quarter inch in localized downpours.
Communities including Bellevue, Papillion, and Council Bluffs may see reduced visibility on roadways during heavier cells, and isolated power outages remain possible. Outdoor events and travel could be disrupted, especially for those heading to parks, lakes, or weekend markets.
By Sunday night, storms taper off as cooler, drier air settles in. Monday is expected to be partly cloudy with highs in the low 80s, offering a comfortable start to the workweek. Heat builds quickly by Tuesday, with highs in the mid- to upper 80s and mostly sunny skies returning—making it a good window for outdoor plans before late-week humidity increases.
