KEY MESSAGES

- Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected tonight into Monday morning. Severe weather is not expected.

- Clouds and rain chances will keep temperatures cooler Monday, with highs in the mid 70s to low 80s.

- Periodic shower and thunderstorm chances continue into the work week, with high temperatures generally in the low to mid 80s.

THE REST OF THE FORECAST

The upper pattern remains mostly unchanged through the work week before zonal flow sets up early next week. We'll remain in the path of a continued parade of waves rounding the southern ridge. PoPs return to the forecast late on Thursday (20%) and continue daily into next week. Friday's chances are best (30-60%).

As a result, temps should slowly climb over the course of the work week's second half, with some 90s popping up on the map by Saturday. The first five days of September are highlighted by the CPC as having a 20-40% risk of extreme heat (90th+ percentile). The heat is expected to linger. The 6-10 day outlook leans hot, the 8-14 day outlook leans warmer than normal, as does the forecast for "weeks 3-4" (9/5-9/18).

2026 is on track to be the fifth warmest on record at Omaha and September looks to keep pace.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/

Issued at 551 AM CDT Mon Aug 24 2026

Thunderstorm timing is the main focus in this TAF period as storms may linger at OFK through 13Z or so. While not an absolute guarantee for TS at OMA or LNK, tried to highlight the most likely 1-2 hour window for storm activity...with a better chance for TSRA at OMA than LNK. Otherwise, VFR will be persistent outside of storms.
