All eyes turn to a cold front Monday that will bring heat relief & storm chances this week. Before the cold front arrives in our area, we likely have enough time to hit 90 degrees. The cooler air will reach northeast Nebraska first, keeping some spots there in the 70s! If the cold front speeds up, Omaha may only hit the mid 80s. The cold front will also fire off numerous showers and storms, especially in the second half of the day. The possibility of a faster cold front would keep the best chances for rain along and south of I-80. A slower front would bring better rain farther northwest. A couple of these storms could be strong enough to produce pockets of hail and strong winds.
The cold front will then stall across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, and it will trigger more rounds of scattered showers and storms through the rest of the workweek.
A lot of us will see those showers and storms again Tuesday. Those that stay dry long enough will warm into the mid 80s…
