6 First Alert Forecast - Mild and dry start to weekend, shower chances on Easter

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Friday is starting off with our warmest morning temperatures of the week.

Most of us are in the 40s and we will warm nicely through the morning despite some high cloud cover overhead.

By the afternoon, the cloud cover will fill in more but it will not prevent us from getting into the upper 60s for highs.

That comes with a south breeze at 10 to 20 miles per hour.

By the evening, a front will swing through the area and turn our winds to the northwest.

Cooler temperatures will prevail for both Saturday and Sunday, though that means we are near our average highs in the upper 50s.

A few sprinkles will be possible Saturday morning but most of the day does look dry.

Easter Sunday is more likely to start off with some light showers around.

Those should clear as we get close to midday.

The afternoon stays dry though cloud cover will be in place.

A few thundershowers become possible after dark and into the overnight hours.

Our best chance for rain comes on Monday with on-and-off chilly showers through the day.

The precipitation wraps up very early Tuesday morning with many spots ending up between a half inch to an inch for storm totals.

Tuesday stays cool and windy with highs in the low 50s.

We look warmer for the rest of the week with highs near 70 by Thursday and Friday.
