6 First Alert Forecast - Brief taste of Fall Tuesday
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - September ending with a summer feel in the air as temperatures soared to around 90 degrees this afternoon. However, a taste of fall is moving in! A cold front moving through the metro this afternoon will bring some gusty north winds to the area. Winds will likely gust over 30mph at times through the early overnight, then slowly back off through Tuesday morning.

Temperatures sitting at 90 degrees late this afternoon will start to cool as the cold front moves through, dropping back into the 70s by 7pm, and into the 60s by 10pm. We’ll continue to cool quickly tonight, and we may even see temperatures dip into the upper 40s by early Tuesday morning!

Tuesday should bring us a nice fall day, finally. We’ll likely be a little breezy in the morning with some wind gusts up to 20mph, but winds should become lighter throughout the day. After starting off in the upper 40s, temperatures should warm into the 60s by Noon, with afternoon highs around 70 degrees. That’s a roughly 20 degree drop from what we’re seeing Monday afternoon, and should really feel like Fall.

The cooler conditions won’t stick around long, gusty south winds return on Wednesday and will bump our temperatures back into the 80s. That’s where we will stay for the rest of the week, with highs in the low to mid 80s for Thursday and Friday. Saturday will likely bring another spike in temperatures, and we could make another run at 90 degrees. That will make for a very warm Husker game in Lincoln! The warm and dry conditions will stick with us through at least the first half of next week.
