David's Morning Forecast - Very warm and dry end to September

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Nice and cool across the area early Sunday morning with a beautiful sunrise. Hardly any clouds in sight early this morning, and that will likely remain the case through the rest of Sunday. That means full sunshine through the day, leading to quickly climbing temperatures. Humidity levels remain low, so it should still feel relatively comfortable for most of the day. Temperatures will climb to summertime levels once again this afternoon, with highs in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees for most of the area. Winds will be light, with a northeast to east breeze generally under 10mph.

We should cool down fairly quickly again this evening, dropping back to around 70 degree by 9pm, and into the 60s by 10pm. The fall feel returns overnight with lows in the low to mid-50s thanks to the dry air and light winds in place.

Monday will likely be the warmest of the next few days with highs close to 90 degrees around the metro and sunny skies. The forecast through Monday remain dry, which virtually guarantees that we will end up with the driest September on record for Omaha with only 0.09″ of rain having fallen at Eppley Airfield downtown. Some areas did pick up more rain than that, but it has been a very dry month for the entire area, and that is not likely to change any time soon meaning drought conditions will only continue to worse.

A cold front will move through Monday night and briefly drop temperatures for Tuesday back closer to average, with highs in the lower 70s. However, the late summer warmth quickly returns with highs back into the mid and even upper 80s by Wednesday and Thursday, lasting into the upcoming weekend. Rain chances remain very sparse, with a generally dry forecast for the next 7 to 10 days.
