4:50 pm - Storms have made it to the Omaha metro. These are not severe as of now. However, they are producing heavy rain, small hail (under 1"), and 40 mph winds as they head north. Let us know if you see any hail!

09/14/2025

4:00 pm - Severe of the severe weather is over Dodge County and heading for West Point. Expect some hail & gusty winds in those storms over Cuming County soon.

To the southwest, storms are popping from Lincoln to Tecumseh. The direction of these will take them closer to the metro, *if* they last that long. Not out of the question we get storms, some even strong, in the Omaha metro by 5-6 pm.

3:20 pm - Good afternoon, watching a couple of severe storms west of Omaha. Both have hail up to 1" and 60 mph winds as the main risks.

The first storm is near David City, the second storm is passing through Seward. Both of these are moving north, so heads up Butler & Colfax Counties!

Note the direction these storms are moving, north. This means that for the time being these storms will be west of Omaha, but that may change as we head later into the evening. Stay tuned!

NEXT WEEK: Two trends to watch next week. 1.) The gradual cooldown and 2.) Midweek rain.

It's not a fast cooldown, much like this past week was not a quick warm-up, but we do get somewhere. Highs by next Saturday will be in the low-70s.

Rain chances spike up Tuesday evening and last through Thursday afternoon. It will not rain the entire time, but there could be a chance of rain for most of that period. Nothing looks too heavy or severe at this time, but watching closely.

SUNDAY FORECAST: It will be hot, with highs in the upper 80s.

Storms fire over central NE by the evening and move east. A few strong storms are possible over NE Nebraska in the evening, but by the time they reach Omaha (after 11 pm), it's just rain.

STORMS RETURN? We are dry up until Sunday, then thunderstorms return to the area.

Too early for many specifics, but Sunday afternoon looks to be the best chance for a few storms. Not everyone sees them.

Severe weather looks low, but there are some ingredients that could be present for some stronger storms. Will be watching.

HOTTER GAME DAY: No matter how you slice it, this Game Day will feel *a lot* different than last week, about 20-30° difference.

If you are going to the game, keep those heat safety precautions in mind!

WEDNESDAY FORECAST: Good morning! We are warming up today as highs return to the 80s (the first time this month...).

Other than that, not much to report back weatherwise today. Somewhat humid, calmer wind, and partly cloudy.

09/09/2025

BACK TO SUMMER: Our average high's for this week are in the low-80s. We will be above that, starting tomorrow.

Highs peak in the low-90s by Friday. We haven't hit the 90s since August 20.

09/09/2025

TUESDAY FORECAST: Once the storms clear, the rest of the day will be partly cloudy & warm, with a high in the upper 70s.

The humidity is noticeable, but not as oppressive as it was last month.

The wind is lighter, too.

4:10 am - Good Tuesday morning! You may have been woken up by some thunder as these storms pass on by. They will mostly stay along/south of I-80. Occasionally, these storms have dropped 1" hail, but this is expected to be isolated. Most storms are gone in Omaha by the AM commute, but will continue southeast of town until late morning.
