Through the first 7 days of September we have yet to hit 80 degrees and set a record low of 42 Sunday morning. Overall this has been tied for the 3rd coolest start to September on record in Omaha. Highly likely we reverse this over the next 7-10 days.

Weak little batch of showers rolling through during the 9am hour. Could easily have a few more at any point through the afternoon.

We definitely aren't done with summer yet. Dew points climb up the muggy meter the next few days then hang in the muggy range through the weekend. Likely to make a run at 90 degrees several days to end the week. That should make for a hot day down in Lincoln.

FIRST ALERT to some very random showers and a few storms this morning and afternoon. Downpours are the biggest concern if you are lucky enough to get some rain. The evening should be quiet before more try to develop after midnight. Those could easily linger into Tuesday AM.

FIRST ALERT to increasing clouds this morning along with a few spotty T-showers possible this morning and afternoon. Nothing widespread at all, just a few random downpours. Muggy meter stays low but the south wind gusts will hit 25-30 mph at times.

FIRST ALERT REMINDER: 72nd Street will fully close between F and L this morning (scheduled to start at 8 AM) and be closed through roughly 5 PM Tuesday. The reason for the closure is required repairs to the railroad tracks there. Use 84th or 60th as alternate routes.

A few spotty T-showers are possible at any point this morning and afternoon under the clouds passing through. They'll never be widespread but could give you a brief downpour. More scattered storms are possible overnight too.

Not a severe storm at all. It’s delayed due to lightning. I’d be mad if I were at the NWS there.

FIRST ALERT to models trending towards few evening storms tonight and move overnight weaker showers instead. These are developing behind the front rather than along it.

Heads up that summer isn't quite done yet. Models are dragging humidity back into the area next week as the dew points climb the muggy meter. Pair that up with a week of 80s for next week into the weekend. Strong signal it lasts into the following week too.

FIRST ALERT to Friday being the coolest afternoon for us all this weekend. Both Sat & Sun morning will dip into the lower 40s too before the afternoons reach the lower 70s. Really comfortable dew points all weekend!!!

FIRST ALERT to some reduced air quality potential today. It's in the moderate range this morning but could worsen later today. Some thicker elevated smoke is likely to move through this afternoon too creating hazy sky.

FIRST ALERT to widespread 40s as you head out the door. Noticeably colder than the 60s we had yesterday morning. You'll want long sleeves for sure!

FIRST ALERT to a warmer day with a bit of a SW breeze during the day. That leads to storm chances later tonight. 6-11pm is the window for a few mostly weak storms to bubble up. An isolated strong storm can't be ruled out, especially in Iowa. Wind will flip to NW overnight.

A little patchy fog is out there this morning but should fade quickly. Mostly sunny sky and a SW breeze will send highs into the mid 70s ahead of a chance for storms tonight. Wildfire smoke passing through will make for hazy sky too.
