Spring is usually the season with the strongest wind here in Omaha, often blowing in colder or warmer weather in and out of the region as winter and summer battle each other in the Midwest. This makes it the perfect time of year for flying a kite, but not every day is windy. The best time of day to fly a kite is in the afternoon or early evening, which is usually when the wind is strongest. To up the wind speed even more, try going to a park with a bigger hill, like Memorial Park.

It's a foggy start to our Wednesday, but outside of some mist in the thickest fog, we are dry heading into work this morning. We stay cloudy today, but more of us will stay dry compared to earlier in the week. The best chance for rain will be this afternoon in southeast Nebraska, but a couple spotty showers could pop up farther north. We stay cloudy, but it will be a little warmer, with upper 60s.

We're starting Tuesday with some scattered light rain, mist, and drizzle... keeping the roads wet for the morning commute. We'll continue to see scattered light to moderate rain this afternoon, but only about half of us will see the rain later today. Everyone will be cloudy and cool, though. Highs will be in the low 60s, more than 15 degrees below average. We'll be down to a few isolated showers across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa overnight as we drop to about 50 for Wednesday morning.

Rain is beginning to push into eastern Nebraska from the west this morning, and the rain will expand farther east through the day. The rain will arrive in Omaha late this morning to the early afternoon, then it expands east through western Iowa during the afternoon. Today's rain will be more stubborn and widespread than the weekend rain, making it last longer once it arrives. Have your backup indoor plans ready to go for any holiday events.

Hit and miss rain will start to move into eastern Nebraska from the west this morning, which will get closer to the Omaha metro around the lunch hour. The scattered rain will stay around eastern Nebraska and western Iowa the rest of the day, but there will be plenty of dry time mixed in. Some neighborhoods will stay dry all day, but we will be cloudy and cooler with highs in the low 60s. Any leftover rain will end tonight, and we drop into the low 50s for Saturday morning.
