Nebraska is waking up to a cold but quiet start, with clear skies and temperatures near 29° across Omaha and Carter Lake. Sunshine builds through late morning, pushing highs toward 52° and delivering a brief Spring Tease before winter tries to sneak back in.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, clouds increase tonight as lows fall to around 21°. The bigger shift arrives Sunday afternoon, when a 30 to 60 percent chance of light snow develops, mainly south of I-80. Local accumulations up to 1 inch are possible in southeast Nebraska, with a light glaze of ice not ruled out.
That combination matters. Even minor snow or a thin ice coating can turn ramps along I-80, Highway 75, and I-29 slick by Sunday night into early Monday. Plan extra time if traveling and watch for changing pavement conditions after sunset. Flash freezing becomes a concern when daytime melting refreezes in subfreezing air.
Sunday’s high reaches just 33°, reinforcing the Late Winter feel as March begins tomorrow. Sunday night holds near 25° with lingering snow chances. By Monday, highs rebound to 40° with a rain-snow mix possible before transitioning to rain. Monday night brings steadier rain with an 80% chance.
Midweek trends milder. Tuesday reaches 49° with rain chances, and Wednesday climbs to 51°. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, signaling a gradual Warm Spell heading deeper into early March.
Five Day Outlook for Omaha, Nebraska:
Sunday: High 33°, 40% snow chance.
Monday: High 40°, rain/snow chance.
Tuesday: High 49°, 40% rain chance.
Wednesday: High 51°, 40% rain chance.
