A few showers Tuesday afternoon near Omaha
Showers possible Tuesday afternoon
HISTORY. SOPHIE FLAY, ABC NEWS, NEW YORK, LOOKS BACK WITH A CHECK AT THAT WEATHER. WHAT KIND OF JACKET YOU THINK WE SHOULD BE WEARING RIGHT NOW AT NOON? I’D SAY THE LIGHT JACKET, BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE EXTRA PREPARED, HAVE THE RAIN JACKET WITH YOU, TOO. OR MAYBE THE UMBRELLA. THERE’S NOT A GUARANTEE ON RAINFALL FOR TODAY, BUT WE’RE ALREADY SEEING SOME LIGHT SHOWERS IN THE VIEWING AREA. SOME OF IT ALOFT, KIND OF EVAPORATING BEFORE HITTING THE GROUND. OUR PROBLEM IS WE HAVE DRY SURFACE HERE. WE HAD A COLD FRONT COME THROUGH YESTERDAY THAT BROUGHT IN THE DRY AIR TOWARDS THE GROUND. SO IT’S RAINING ALOFT IN SOME AREAS. BUT AS IT GETS CLOSER TO GROUND, IT EVAPORATES. EVENTUALLY, THOUGH, THAT AIR NEAR THE GROUND THAT’S DRIER WILL SATURATE. I THINK SOME OF US WILL GET A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS. SO I THINK OUR TIME FRAME, MAYBE 2 TO 6 P.M. AS A BALLPARK WHEN IT’S POSSIBLE. BUT AGAIN, THE LIMITING FACTOR WOULD BE THE DRY AIR. TO PLAY IT SAFE, I’D HAVE THE UMBRELLA. BUT ALSO REMEMBER, YOU MIGHT NOT NEED IT OUTSIDE. I DON’T THINK EVERYONE SEES RAIN FOR THIS AFTERNOON, BUT IF YOU DO, IT’S JUST LIGHT SHOWERS, CLOUDY SKIES OVERHEAD AS WE LOOK TOWARDS TURNER PARK, IT’S 51 DEGREES IN NORTHEAST WIND AT JUST SEVEN MILES PER HOUR. LOOK AT THAT DEW POINT TEMPERATURE. THAT’S THE MEASURE OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR. IT’S AT 34. OUR AIR TEMPERATURES AT 51 WITH THE DEW POINT DEPRESSION, THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 17 DEGREES. THAT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TEMPERATURE AND THE DEW POINTS. SO THE AIR IS JUST NOT SATURATED NEAR THE GROUND. BUT MAYBE BY 4:00 IT WILL BE SATURATED ENOUGH TO WHERE WE COULD GET A SHOWER. AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID 50S FOR THE AFTERNOON, CLOUDY SKIES SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY, BUT WE DON’T HAVE AS MUCH WIND AS WE HAD YESTERDAY. SO THAT’S ONE PLUS FOR THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURE 55 DEGREES SOMEWHAT DEPENDENT ON IF WE GET RAIN. IF WE GET RAIN IN OMAHA AROUND 2:00 OR 3:00, THAT WILL BRING TEMPERATURES DOWN SLIGHTLY. HERE’S WHERE THE RAIN IS RIGHT NOW. NORFOLK. COLUMBUS. YORK. BEATRICE. MAYBE NOT RAINING ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. I SAW A FEW TRAFFIC CAMS OUT NEAR YORK THAT HAD SOME RAINDROPS ON THEIR CAMERA, BUT THE GROUND DIDN’T LOOK VERY DAMP, SO NOT MUCH OF IT IS GETTING TO THE GROUND. BUT THIS IS ALL IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA THAT’S GOING TO TRY TO PRESS IN. WE’LL SEE DURING THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS. THAT’S WHEN WE’LL WATCH FOR THE CLOSEST. CLOUDS WILL BE STUCK AROUND THROUGH THE DAY. THOSE CLOUDS MAY CLEAR OUT A LITTLE BIT AT NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE TAKING OVER. THAT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S OVERNIGHT. SO WE’LL START WITH SUNSHINE AGAIN FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY. BUT I THINK CLOUDS COME BACK IN IN THE AFTERNOON, OR AT LEAST A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. HERE’S YOUR THURSDAY MORNING AGAIN, MAYBE A BIT OF SUNSHINE IN THE MORNING, AND THEN WE’LL HAVE SOME CLOUDS COME BACK IN AGAIN FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH MAYBE A LITTLE SHOWER CHANCE IN BETWEEN THERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. BUT IT’S NOT A BIG SHOWER CHANCE. WE’LL SEE. 10% 62 DEGREES. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR TOMORROW, THURSDAY, THE HIGHS ONLY AT 60 DEGREES. SO BOTH THESE DAYS THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN THEY ARE TODAY. I THINK THE BREEZE PICKS UP A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THURSDAY. SO TWO CALM WINDS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE BREEZY BY THURSDAY WITH A LOW RAIN CHANCE LATE WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY. FRIDAY WE’RE AT 60 DEGREES AGAIN. LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURES JUMPING BACK UP. SATURDAY 68. SUNDAY AT 75. IT’S NICE WHEN WEATHER LOOKS GOOD FOR THE WEEKEND. WE HAVEN’T HAD A LOT OF THOSE DAYS. AND YOU KNOW, THE PAST FEW WEEKS WHERE WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A NICE WEEKEND HERE IN THE FORECAST.
