The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 14, short of 90°F on every date, while 132 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 15°F near January 14.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 21, then returns to freezing around November 11, covering 132 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is May 9, when 40% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is November 13 at 20%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 103 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 25 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Omaha Eppley Airfield runs a summer-peaked wet season
40% of Omaha Eppley Airfield's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is May at 4.7", on a wide 53.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: May, August, June, taking 43% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 0.8".
- Winter share: 9% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
How Omaha Eppley Airfield's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 103 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 31.9" between them, or roughly 0.31 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Winter brings real snow to Omaha Eppley Airfield
Omaha Eppley Airfield averages 27.1 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 22 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 27.1 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 22 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 9% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Omaha Eppley Airfield; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
