Current temperature appears to be 69.

You think it has dropped that much that quickly?

I'm dubious, but it's the only info I've been able to find.

Doesn't really matter what USAT's website says re. water temps. Clearly there is potential for the race to be wetsuit legal. So bring your wetsuit.

Looking at the cool weather over the next couple days, nothing USAT posts about current water temp will change the basic fact that the race might be wetsuit legal. So if the info doesn't matter, we don't need to know it.

I'm in Kansas City. The last 10 days have had unseasonably cool weather and we've had 2-3 different storms with 6-8" of rain each. I assume Omaha is seeing similar weather patterns. Normally, I'd say a temp drop like that is impossible, but this has been some crazy weather.

Looking more and more like it could be a wetsuit legal race with cool nights and 80 degree days.

Glad I shipped my wetsuit with my bike!

i just got back from a brief swim (only swimming "beach": hard to find) here…..directly across from the race site. i had my swimskin on. i thought it was fine. not overly warm, but thought it'd be fine for me for the race.

You should be dubious as the site you referenced uses an algorithm to determine the mean daily water temperature. Pretty sure USAT has a different method.
