The rainy and stormy conditions over Omaha are expected to gradually ease overnight, moving south and east of the area before sunrise. While a few leftover showers may linger into Thursday morning, most residents will wake up to dry but cloudy conditions.
Thursday will start in the low 70s under overcast skies. A cold front moving through the region will help keep temperatures down slightly, though humidity may still linger. Highs will reach the mid 80s. Isolated afternoon and evening storms are possible, primarily in areas south of Omaha. Some of these storms—especially near Missouri and Kansas—could bring heavy rainfall.
By Thursday night, showers will taper off and clouds will begin to thin, setting up for a quieter start to Friday.
