Omaha is set to experience warmer temperatures and more sunshine this weekend and into the start of the workweek. Temperatures are expected to reach the lower 70s on Sunday and potentially the mid-70s on Monday, though a front moving through the area could impact the high temperatures on Monday.

Why it matters

The warmer weather and increased sunshine will provide a welcome respite from the winter chill, allowing residents to get outside and enjoy the outdoors as daylight saving time begins.

The details

Overnight lows will only drop to the upper 30s and lower 40s, with a southwesterly breeze keeping temperatures from cooling too much. Sunday will see mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower 70s, though it will be a bit breezy. Monday's forecast is a bit more uncertain, as a front moving through the area could keep temperatures in the mid-60s north of the boundary, while areas to the south could reach the upper 70s.

  • The sun will rise at 6:48 AM and set at 7:23 PM on Sunday.
  • Daylight saving time begins overnight, meaning clocks will move forward one hour.

The takeaway

The warmer temperatures and increased sunshine this weekend and early next week will provide a welcome respite for Omaha residents, allowing them to get outside and enjoy the outdoors as daylight saving time begins.
