Nebraska residents can expect a clearing of showers by late this afternoon, with drier, sunnier days through the end of the week. Showers have soaked Omaha and surrounding areas since early Wednesday, causing damp commutes and visibility concerns. Drivers are advised to remain cautious on local roadways as lingering moisture could contribute to slick spots, particularly along high-traffic routes near Omaha.
According to the US National Weather Service, skies will brighten by Thursday with sunny conditions expected to dominate, bringing a much-needed respite from the recent rain. Highs on Thursday will reach between 54 and 60 degrees, while overnight lows will dip into the upper 30s. The dry spell will extend through Saturday, with temperatures hovering around 65 degrees by week’s end. Residents should take advantage of the sunny weekend to complete any outdoor activities before rain chances return.
Kansas City will experience similar patterns, with scattered morning showers tapering off by the afternoon. Local drivers should remain alert as conditions improve, especially during peak commute hours. Rain totals are estimated between 0.1 to 0.5 inches, so minor flooding isn’t expected, but caution is encouraged for those on the roads.
Looking ahead, Saturday is expected to be mostly sunny, followed by a partly cloudy Sunday, with a return of rain possible by Monday. While this weekend promises calm and mild weather, residents should prepare for another potential round of showers early next week.
