Warmer weather forecasted as students head back to school

It looks like the first round of showers and thundershowers will roll through early to mid-morning. High 89F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 miles per hour. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before midnight. Let’s say partly cloudy for Wednesday night as well. High: 74. Winds W 15-25 miles per hour. Also, localized totals of 3 to 5-inches could be possible though Friday night.

Labor Day will be generally good for outdoor activities but be on the lookout for a few more showers this afternoon. The increased humidity, generated by Gulf moisture being brought in by south-southeast winds of 5 to 10 miles per hour, will boost temperatures as the heat index could soar to 105 degrees.

Wednesday will once again bring a chance of patchy fog before 9 a.m., but sunny skies are expected for the rest of the day. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. Northwest wind 5 to 10 miles per hour.

NIGHT: Mostly clear. A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening.

Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 68.

Showers and thunderstorms likely.

By Friday we’ll be back to a summertime sky with few clouds and a high of 79.

Tomorrow: Partly Cloudy. Hot & Humid. Mostly sunny, with a high near 91. Overnight lows in the Omaha area will be in the mid-50s to around 60.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: High pressure will work in, crest over us, and move to our east as we go through the weekend. Saturday, Sunday and Monday should be mostly sunny with daytime highs in the mid- to upper 70s.
