David's Morning Forecast - Fantastic holiday weekend forecast
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - A beautiful start to Saturday with cool temperatures across the Omaha metro. We dipped into the lower 50s for most of the metro, a couple of spots even briefly touching the upper 40s. Some pockets of fog did develop just before sunrise, but that fog will quickly thin out after sunrise. We will see lots of sun today, leading to a quick warm-up from those 50 degree temperatures. We should be back into the 70s by late morning, warming into the 80s this afternoon. It will be on the warm side for the second half of the day, with highs between 86 and 88 degrees for the metro area.
