Omaha, Nebraska – Monday in Nebraska brings a sudden jolt of summer with highs soaring to 93°F and a renewed threat of strong afternoon thunderstorms that could snarl travel and disrupt plans across Omaha and along major routes like I-29 and I-80.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, scattered storms could develop Monday afternoon into Monday night, especially in northeast Nebraska and metro Omaha. Some storms may turn severe, bringing damaging winds and hail between 3 p.m. and midnight. Motorists and residents are urged to secure loose outdoor items, monitor NOAA weather alerts, and avoid travel on exposed roadways during storms. If driving along I-29 or I-80 Monday evening, be alert for reduced visibility and ponding water.
Sunny and hot conditions will dominate Monday morning, giving way to a sharp uptick in humidity and storm risk late in the day. Monday night, showers and thunderstorms may bring pockets of heavy rain, but rainfall totals are expected to remain under one-tenth of an inch for most areas.
By Tuesday, temperatures settle into the low 90s, but another round of thunderstorms is possible Tuesday night and Wednesday, with rain and wind once again posing a risk for both commuters and outdoor workers. Slightly cooler air moves in Thursday, with spotty showers before drier, comfortable weather returns for the weekend.
Stay weather aware, check for alerts, and limit outdoor activity during storms. More advisories may be issued if severe weather develops.
