Omaha Drizzle Lingers Tuesday With Highs in 60s

Omaha, Nebraska – Clouds and drizzle will keep the Omaha area cool Tuesday, with afternoon temperatures reaching only the mid- to upper 60s.

According to the National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley, clouds and areas of drizzle will persist for one more day across eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa. The agency's graphic shows a temperature near 65 degrees Tuesday.

The damp, cloudy conditions could leave roads and sidewalks wet at times, while the persistent cloud cover will limit daytime warming. Drivers should be prepared for areas of drizzle during Tuesday travel.

Conditions begin changing around midday Wednesday as clouds start to clear. However, the transition to brighter skies will not mean completely dry conditions.

A few showers remain possible Wednesday afternoon and early evening. Anyone planning yardwork, outdoor projects or other weather-sensitive activities may find a window of improved conditions after the clouds begin breaking, but should remain prepared for passing showers.

The supplied Weather Service update does not provide specific Wednesday temperatures, rain probabilities or rainfall amounts. It also does not indicate significant storm hazards.

For Omaha and surrounding communities, Tuesday remains the cooler and cloudier day before conditions begin improving Wednesday. Residents with outdoor plans should watch for updated timing on Wednesday's scattered showers as the clouds gradually clear.
