Omaha, NE – A chill hangs in the air across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa this morning, the kind that coats windshields in a silvery film before dawn. Clear skies and calm winds are keeping temperatures near 40°F early, and this cool, crisp setup will define much of the weekend as the region slides quietly into November.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, Friday stays sunny with highs near 51°F, followed by a chilly evening where lows dip to the mid-30s. A few light sprinkles may brush through the area late tonight, but no measurable rain is expected. Residents planning early travel across I-80 or outdoor events should dress in layers — the air will stay brisk, especially after sunset.
Saturday will remain partly sunny and cool, with highs in the upper 40s and a light northwest breeze. By Saturday night, conditions turn frosty again as lows drop to near freezing, marking another push of early November cold.
Sunday, however, brings a welcome warm-up. Sunshine returns with highs near 58°F and a lighter south wind, making it an ideal day for yard cleanup or last-minute fall decorating before clocks roll back for Daylight Saving Time at 2 a.m.
Early next week stays mild with highs near 60°F through Tuesday, though forecasters are watching for stronger cold fronts around midweek. For now, this weekend’s chill marks a calm, classic start to November — and the first sign that winter’s whisper isn’t far behind.
