The mostly sunny, hot, and humid weather continues this afternoon. Eastern Nebraska and Omaha will be in the low 90s, and western Iowa will continue to run a touch cooler with mid to upper 80s. With the humidity, it will feel like the mid 90s in the second half of the day.
A cold front will move in from the northwest late tonight with a line of storms ahead of it. The storms will be at their strongest as they push into northeast Nebraska around 10. The main concern will be for damaging wind. The line of storms will then slowly break apart and weaken as it continues pushing southeast. Assuming the storms hold together for Omaha, they likely won’t arrive until after midnight, around 1 or 2. By the Wednesday morning commute, there could still be a couple spotty storms southeast of the metro.
There will continue to be some hit and miss rain around the region Wednesday, but most of the day looks dry. This will keep a number of clouds around, but we’ll see some sunshine at times. Thanks to Tuesday night’s cold front, it won’t be as hot. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s in Omaha and southeast. Farther northwest, some neighborhoods will only warm into the 70s! The day likely ends with some hit and miss storms, mainly along and south of I-80…
