Omaha morning weather forecast for Wednesday, July 2

AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE 4TH OF JULY. SO AS YOU PLAN THE REST OF THE WEEK THIS MORNING, WE’LL LIKELY SEE SOME RAIN IN THE METRO. STILL CAN’T RULE OUT MAYBE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER HERE BEFORE NOON, BUT TEMPERATURES CLIMB BACK INTO THE 90S. MORE SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON. HOTTER. EVEN MORE HUMID TOMORROW. LOOKS LIKE OUR HOTTEST DAY THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK. AND THEN A HOT AND HUMID 4TH OF JULY. BUT INCREASING CHANCES TO SEE STORMS IN THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET TOWARDS SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, 10:00. RIGHT NOW, LOOKS LIKE WE COULD HAVE SOME STORMS IMPACT THE AREA WHICH COULD IMPACT SOME OF YOUR 4TH OF JULY FESTIVITIES. COMPLEX OF STORMS THIS MORNING WAS STRONGER OUT IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA, AND AS IT’S MOVED EASTWARD, AS EXPECTED, IT IS WEAKENING BUT STILL HOLDING ON ENOUGH. WE’RE LIKELY SEE AT LEAST SOME RAIN MOVE INTO THE METRO, SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES DOWN TOWARD SEWARD, UTICA, BACK TOWARD THE YORK AREA. THAT’S WHERE THE HEAVIER RAIN IS RIGHT NOW. STILL SOME BRIEF DOWNPOURS AROUND DAVID CITY UP TOWARD SCHUYLER. SOME STEADIER RAIN TOWARD NORTH BEND. STARTING TO MOVE INTO FREMONT. WAHOO TOWARD YUTAN. SO EXPECT TO SEE AT LEAST SOME LIGHT RAIN MOVING TO THE METRO HERE AS WE APPROACH 6:00 12 HOUR FORECAST. HAVE THE UMBRELLA HANDY OR THE RAIN JACKET, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE OUT EARLY THIS MORNING. OUR BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL BE BEFORE 8 A.M., LIKELY DRYING OUT FOR A TIME THIS MORNING, BUT WATCHING MAYBE ANOTHER STRAY POP-UP SHOWER OR STORM 11:00 NOON BEFORE WE SEE THOSE CLOUDS REALLY MOVE OUT. THAT SOUTH BREEZE WILL HELP US WARM UP THOSE TEMPERATURES AROUND 90 DEGREES AS WE HEAD TOWARD 4:00 5:00. THAT’S A LOOK TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST. THAT’S WEST DODGE NEAR 100 192ND FROM MEMPHIS WOMEN’S HOSPITAL JUST A COUPLE MINUTES AGO. COULD STILL SEE SOME FLASHES OF LIGHTNING OFF IN THE DISTANCE RIGHT NOW. WARMER START THIS MORNING, 69 DEGREES. THERE’S THAT FLASH, 63 DEGREE DEW POINT, SOUTHEAST BREEZE CLOSE TO TEN MILES PER HOUR. SO A WARMER START THIS MORNING FOR MOST, ESPECIALLY ON THE NEBRASKA SIDE OF THE RIVER. SEEING MID TO UPPER 60S. STILL HOLDING ON TO 70 AT THE MOMENT IN FREMONT. BUT MAY DIP A LITTLE BIT AS THAT RAIN MOVES IN. STORM PREDICTOR WITH THIS MODEL REALLY HAS THE RAIN FIZZLING OUT. 7:00 THOUGH I THINK STILL BY SEVEN HAVE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS MIDDLE OF THE MORNING, MORE LIKELY DRY. AND THEN HERE’S THAT 11:00 NOON TIME WHERE WE COULD SEE JUST A POP-UP SHOWER OR STORM BRIEFLY. AND THEN IT MOVES OUT, THE CLOUDS FOLLOW SUIT, AND WHERE WE SEE MORE SUNSHINE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY LIKELY SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT WARMER OUT TOWARD LINCOLN BEATRICE, BUT STILL EXPECT TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES AROUND 90 HERE IN THE METRO. WARM OVERNIGHT, CLEAR SKIES, 70. TO START OFF YOUR THURSDAY AND THEN WE’LL SEE MORE SUNSHINE. THOSE TEMPERATURES CLIMB LOW TO MID 90S WITH THE HUMIDITY. COULD FEEL LIKE THE UPPER 90S. SOME SPOTS MAYBE EVEN CLOSER TO 100 DEGREES. SO THE HEAT, HUMIDITY, BACK IMPACT FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. AGAIN A HOT AND HUMID DAY INTO THE 90S WITH THOSE STORM CHANCES INCREASING AS WE GET CLOSER TO AND AFTER SUNSET, AND THEN STILL ACTIVE WEATHER COULD SEE SOME
