I apologize for the lag between postings on our weather blog. I was (literally) out of town for much of the past 3 weeks and (hopefully) will be able to post some nice pictures of National Guard training in South Dakota back in mid-June. The scenery in the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands was great… the weather was (let’s just say) not so great.
This week’s weather here in Omaha looks pretty good… not Top Ten Day weather… but very nice by late June/early July standards. Last week… highs in the upper 90s… combined with high dew point temperatures… gave us heat index values over 110 at times. Our highs will be 10-15 degrees cooler this week… and our humidity levels will also be much lower. Combine that with lots of sunshine (at least into Thursday) and you’ve got a terrific start to July.
Our weather pattern should change by the weekend… however… which could impact some Fourth of July activities. It doesn’t look like a rain-out… but there will be a slight chance of thunderstorms from Friday night through Sunday… with the evening and overnights being the most favored times for any storm activity. Highs from Friday through Sunday should be in the mid to upper 80s… warm… but certainly tolerable for early Summer.
