OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – The 6th Weather Warning Day ended early Monday due to higher humidity, but the 6th Weather Warning Day continues on Tuesday. With a little breeze still in place tonight, temperatures will only drop into the mid-60s by Tuesday morning.

Winds from the south will be much higher compared to Monday, with gusts up to 50 mph possible. Humidity is expected to be lower on Tuesday, increasing fire risk. This means that any fire that starts is likely to get out of control in a hurry. The greatest fire risk will be south of the metro.

Temperatures will top out in the 80s, well above average for the last few days of October.

Storm chances will increase as we approach Wednesday morning. There is a severe threat for early Wednesday morning. A storm or two may develop, creating damaging winds and hail, especially to the south. Showers and thunderstorms will continue throughout the day, with rain totals that could exceed 1.5+″ by Wednesday evening.

Halloween looks dry with highs in the mid-50s with more fall-like temperatures lingering through the weekend.
