70s return Thursday in Omaha area

NICE STRETCH SPRING WEATHER FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AS WE HEAD INTO MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND. WE’RE GETTING OUR WARM UP AS. PROMISED EXPECTED AFTER A FEW COOLER DAYS. 70S BACK IN THE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON AND FOR FRIDAY. SO SOME GREAT WEATHER TO GET OUTSIDE AS WE WRAP UP THE WEEK NOW. THE ONLY CHANGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND IS THAT, WELL, SATURDAY NOW TRENDING DRIER. BETTER CHANCE FOR ANY SHOWERS OR RUMBLES OF THUNDER. LOOKING MORE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE OMAHA METRO AND MOTHER’S DAY. STILL LOOKING NICE AND DRY. FOR ANY OF YOUR OUTDOOR PLANS WITH MOM ON SUNDAY. AND THEN NEXT WEEK, EVEN WARMER. HIGHS IN THE 80S FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DAYS. 12 HOUR FORECAST THOUGH. GRAB THE JACKET AS YOU HEAD ON OUT, THOUGH IT IS MILDER COMPARED TO YESTERDAY MORNING. STILL STARTING OFF IN THE 40S FOR MOST, WITH SUNSHINE AND SOUTHWEST WIND. LOOK HOW QUICKLY WARM UP MID 60S BY NOON, EVEN WITH THE WIND SHIFTING MORE WESTERLY NORTHWESTERLY FOR THE END OF THE DAY. LOOK AT THOSE TEMPERATURES MOST OF THE AFTERNOON IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. SO FIND A WAY TO GET OUTSIDE AS WE GET THOSE TEMPERATURES BACK ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME IN MAY. THERE’S THE WEST DODGE EXPRESSWAY STILL ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM SUNRISE. CLEAR SKIES RIGHT NOW OVER OMAHA, 49 DEGREES, DEW .38. SO DRY AIR IN PLACE. SOUTHWEST BREEZE AROUND TEN MILES PER HOUR. CURRENTLY WITH THAT SOUTHWEST BREEZE WE TALKED ABOUT YESTERDAY. BILL WAS TALKING ABOUT LAST NIGHT. HELP PREVENT THOSE TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING A BIT OVERNIGHT AND REALLY PREVENTING MOST, IF NOT ALL, FROST POTENTIAL. YOU SEE 40 IN NORFOLK, 43 DENISON. STILL SOME SPOTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. SO IF WE DO SEE ANY PATCHY FROST MORE LIKELY IN SOUTHWEST IOWA THIS MORNING. BUT MOST OF US HAVE THAT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST BREEZE. SO ONCE THE SUN IS UP, WE’RE GOING TO WARM UP QUICKLY. MAYBE A STRAY SHOWER OR SPRINKLE UP TOWARD CARROLL, BUT A BIT MORE CLOUD COVER UP HERE. THAT’S ALSO HELPING PREVENT THOSE TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING. SO SHOWERS IN NORTHERN IOWA MOVING OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST, A FEW MORE IN THE ROCKIES, WHICH MAY BRING A STRAY SHOWER TONIGHT, SHOW YOU HERE ON STORM PREDICTOR. YOU SEE LOTS OF SUNSHINE, LOW TO MID 60S BY NOON, LOW TO MID 70S FOR 5:00. BEAUTIFUL EVENING. THEN CLOUDS INCREASE AND THERE’S MIDNIGHT. COULD SEE A STRAY SHOWER. MAYBE A SPRINKLE HERE OR THERE. BUT MOST OF US GOING TO STAY DRY. BUT CHANCE OVERNIGHT THOSE MOVE OUT BY DRIVE TIME TOMORROW MORNING. AND THEN FRIDAY. CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE MID TO UPPER 70S. NOT TOO BREEZY. POTENTIAL FOR A TOP TEN DAY ON A FRIDAY. IT’S GOING TO FEEL FANTASTIC REGARDLESS IF IT’S TOP TEN DAY OR NOT. WHAT A WAY TO START OFF THE WEEKEND. SATURDAY LOOKING GOOD AS WELL. MID TO UPPER 70S AND AGAIN TRENDING DRIER WITH MORE OF THAT SHOWER. ANY STRAY RUMBLES OF THUNDER MORE LIKELY. SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF THE METRO. IF WE DO SEE ANYTHING, IT WOULD BE MORE LIKELY AFTER SUNSET AND THEN SUNSHINE. 70
