Omaha, Neb. – A stretch of dry, sunny weather will continue across eastern Nebraska, keeping roadways like I-80 and I-29 clear through early next week. Temperatures will climb back into the mid-80s by Monday, September 29, with light winds gradually increasing each afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, drivers should expect calm mornings with breezes from the south picking up by midday. Gusts could reach up to 18 mph by Wednesday, creating crosswind concerns for high-profile vehicles on major highways. While skies stay mostly clear, the warming trend means fall-like mornings in the 50s will quickly shift to afternoon highs in the mid-80s.
Communities from Bellevue to Council Bluffs can expect near-perfect fall conditions Sunday and Monday, ideal for outdoor events and sports. However, south winds may create challenges for construction zones along I-80 and U.S. Highway 75, where loose debris could blow onto travel lanes. Residents are advised to secure outdoor items and remain alert for shifting winds during the afternoon commute.
The warm spell carries Omaha into the start of October, a rare streak of unbroken sunshine this late in the month. Cooler temperatures typical of fall remain just out of reach, but the forecast shows no rain chances through midweek. That means ideal harvest weather for rural Douglas, Sarpy, and Pottawattamie counties.
Forecast confidence is high through Wednesday, though stronger winds may return late week. The National Weather Service will issue updates if conditions change.
