OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Much like our Friday, our Saturday starts off with temperatures in the 50s. We'll also be looking at a day where we are in and out of the cloud cover with a little more of the consistent cloud deck staying over southeastern Nebraska. With a light southwest wind in place and a slightly warmer start in the metro, we should end up just a couple of degrees warmer for our highs as we land in the upper 70s.

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Thursday starts off with spotty showers sweeping through the area. We don't expect those to be all that widespread or heavy as they move through. The bulk of those happen in the morning with rain chances ending by 10AM. The morning hours will also be breezy with gusts that could reach 25 miles per hour. A few gusts to 20 mph are possible into the afternoon as much drier air settles in too. Dew points will plummet on the muggy meter all day.

By OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - A crash that happened shortly after 8 AM Monday morning has closed a major route through midtown Omaha. Dodge is shut down eastbound at 40th while emergency crews work the scene. Consider using Harney or Farnam as alternate routes; however, be ready for slow travel with lanes closed on both of those roads due to construction.
