Nebraska – Eastern Nebraska residents should prepare for a week of fluctuating weather conditions, beginning with patchy fog and a potential for thunderstorms Sunday night. A 60% chance of showers is expected before dawn Monday, impacting visibility for early commuters along I-80. Motorists should drive with caution, particularly in fog-prone areas, and be ready for slick roads during peak rainfall hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha, the forecast indicates a mix of cloudy and rainy conditions through midweek. Monday brings a 70% chance of rain, with thunderstorms likely by noon. Strong winds, gusting up to 22 mph, will accompany the rain, especially in open areas near highways and rural roads. These conditions may cause brief disruptions and slowdowns, particularly along I-80 and near major routes around Omaha and Lincoln.
Rain will persist into Monday night, with a likely thunderstorm after 3 a.m. on Tuesday, but skies are set to gradually clear by late Tuesday, offering some relief. Tuesday afternoon may bring partial sunshine with temperatures reaching 54°F, as rain chances drop to 30%. Conditions will fully improve by midweek, with mostly clear skies expected Tuesday night and a dry, partly sunny Wednesday.
This unsettled start to the week is part of a broader weather pattern sweeping through the Midwest. Residents should stay updated on changing conditions and plan for potential delays if traveling across Nebraska’s eastern corridor. Keeping an umbrella and visibility gear at hand is recommended as patchy fog and intermittent rain showers linger through early Tuesday. By Wednesday, the return of sunshine and calmer skies will provide a welcome reprieve from the damp start to the week.
