Omaha, NE – A relatively calm week of weather is expected across Nebraska, but residents should be prepared for breezy conditions and a gradual warm-up throughout the week. According to the National Weather Service, daytime temperatures will range from the mid-50s to mid-70s, with the warmest day coming on Saturday, where highs are forecast to reach 71-78°F.
The biggest concern this week will be the breezy conditions, which could lead to elevated fire weather risks, especially in dry areas. Spotty showers are expected to develop on Wednesday and Thursday, with a chance of some scattered rain on Thursday as well. Winds will be particularly noticeable on Wednesday and Thursday, potentially making the air feel cooler than the actual temperatures.
Nighttime lows will range between the mid-20s to mid-40s, with cooler nights expected earlier in the week. While rain showers are expected to be light, the National Weather Service urges caution for areas experiencing dry conditions, as the combination of wind and dry soil could lead to fire hazards.
For detailed, updated forecasts and advisories, residents are advised to stay tuned to local weather alerts and take precautions where necessary.
