Omaha, Nebraska – Storms will finally begin to ease across eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa by midday Thursday, July 31st, after another round of heavy rainfall early in the morning. Some localized flooding remains possible through noon, especially near low-lying areas and along Interstate 80 through Omaha.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, embedded thunderstorms with bursts of heavy rain will continue into the early morning hours.
