Nebraska skies look gray and damp this morning, with a brief rain and flurry mix brushing parts of Omaha and Carter Lake. At mid-morning, temperatures hover near 40 degrees at Eppley Airfield, and a light south breeze keeps wind chills in the mid-30s.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, a slight chance of rain before mid-morning transitions to sprinkles and flurries. Any precipitation remains light, with little to no accumulation expected. Still, bridges along I-80 and I-480 could turn slick if surface temperatures dip closer to freezing in heavier bursts.
Clouds thin this afternoon as highs reach 57 degrees. That’s a noticeable February rebound. Roads improve quickly under partial sunshine, and travel conditions stabilize across Douglas and Pottawattamie counties.
Temperatures fall to around 30 degrees tonight under mostly clear skies. Watch for refreezing on damp pavement, especially in shaded neighborhoods and on elevated ramps. This time of year, brief thawing followed by a quick freeze can create patchy black ice.
Friday turns sunny and warmer, with highs near 59. Valentine’s Day Saturday brings a 30% chance of light rain, mainly before noon, with highs near 60 degrees. New rainfall stays under a tenth of an inch. Sunday looks even brighter, climbing to 62 degrees under full sun.
Early next week trends even milder. Highs push into the upper 60s and low 70s by Tuesday. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Nebraska and Iowa, signaling strong spring vibes heading into midweek.
