Today’s weather features a warm high near 90 degrees, with mostly sunny skies, although a hint of Canadian wildfire smoke lingers in the air. A breezy afternoon will precede the arrival of storms later in the evening as a cold front approaches northeast Nebraska. These storms may intensify, posing a risk for strong winds and large hail. While they are expected to weaken as they reach southeast toward Omaha, there remains a slight chance of severe weather in the metro area, with storm activity likely arriving after 2 a.m.
By Tuesday morning, the storms will have subsided, but residual scattered rain is anticipated as temperatures drop into the low 60s. Morning showers may persist, with highs rebounding to the low 60s by afternoon, yet another bout of wildfire smoke could drift in later in the day.
Looking ahead to midweek, Wednesday is expected to be dry with partial sunshine, reaching highs in the mid-70s. Rain is forecasted to return on Thursday, with about half of the region seeing rainfall and cloudy skies. Despite the potential for wet weather, conditions are predicted to remain relatively pleasant, with highs in the mid-70s.
As we head into the weekend, there’s a small chance for rain on Friday, but the overall outlook suggests drier conditions for most, with temperatures approaching 80 degrees on both Saturday and Sunday.
