Bo’s First Alert Weather Forecast - High fire risk continues today, scattered showers on Monday
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Sunday will be another sunny and warm day as temperatures will reach the lower to mid 80s. This is about 15 degrees above average for this time of year. Winds will continue to come from the south-southwest between 10-25 mph. Not only is this bringing in the warmer temperatures, but it will keep the fire risk HIGH for all of the area. The burn ban continues for today! As of 7 AM this morning, there are no fire alerts for the area, but conditions are still good enough for fires to get out of control.
Our next big thing will be a closed-off low over Arizona that will move over Nebraska on Monday. This system will not become anything significant, but it will have enough energy to create scattered showers Monday afternoon into nightfall. Some isolated thunderstorms could develop creating heavy rainfall and some lightning, but the severe weather risk is LOW. Potential rainfall amounts range between 0.10″ up to 0.50″. Some areas will see more rain than others. Monday’s evening commute may be impacted by rain.
Once this system passes us, a cold front will come Wednesday and bring back the normal temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. The rest of the week looks to be dry unfortunately which will make our drought conditions worse.
