VICKERY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO LEAVE THOSE WINTER LIKE TEMPERATURES BEHIND. TODAY WAS A HIGH OF 38 DEGREES, BUT THAT, AGAIN, IS GOING TO BE IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AS TEMPERATURES GET INTO THE 50S AND MAYBE EVEN 60S. HERE IN OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. BUT THE FIRST THING WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IS OUR WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THAT IS OUT FOR SOME OF OUR SOUTHERNMOST COUNTIES, FROM JEFFERSON AND SALINE COUNTY ALL THE WAY TO ATCHISON, OTTAWA, AND HOLT COUNTIES IN NORTHWEST MISSOURI. THIS IS OUT UNTIL 9 A.M., SO THERE’S NO MORE SNOW. AND THE SNOW THAT WE DID GET TODAY WAS JUST KIND OF A SLUSHY MESS DOWN THERE. AND THAT IS NOW DONE. IT DIDN’T ACCUMULATE TO A WHOLE LOT. IT’S KIND OF ALL MELTED NOW AND IT’S JUST DAMP. BUT WE EXPECT THE POSSIBILITY OF MAYBE A FREEZING DRIZZLE FOR THOSE SOUTHERNMOST COUNTIES THAT ARE HOLDING THAT MOISTURE DOWN NEAR THE GROUND. LIVE. LOOK OUTSIDE, FACING TO THE WEST FROM LEWIS AND CLARK MONUMENT, 32 DEGREES. SO RIGHT AT THE FREEZING MARK. AND THAT EAST BREEZE IS VERY LIGHT. ONLY THREE MILES PER HOUR, 34 DEGREES FOR PLATTSMOUTH AND NEBRASKA CITY, 35 IN LINCOLN, 33 FOR FREMONT, AND 31 DEGREES UP IN TEKAMAH. NOW, AS I MENTIONED, FREEZING DRIZZLE. IF YOU’RE GOING TO GET FREEZING DRIZZLE, YOU NEED SATURATION IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THAT WOULD BE 100% RELATIVE HUMIDITY, AND WE’RE NOT SEEING THAT RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY KIND OF RIGHT ALONG THE I-80 CORRIDOR. WE’RE AT ABOUT 50% RELATIVE HUMIDITY FURTHER SOUTH, WHERE THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS. THERE’S MORE MOISTURE IN THE AIR. WE THINK THAT’S A STRONGER POSSIBILITY. YOU DO GET TO SEE SOME OF THAT FREEZING DRIZZLE, BUT FOR US TO GET IT IN OMAHA, WE NEED THE TEMPERATURE TO COME DOWN AND THE MOISTURE TO INCREASE, WHICH WILL HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. BUT I’M NOT SURE IF IT WILL HAPPEN AT THE LEVEL THAT GIVES US A FREEZING DRIZZLE. SO THERE’S THE RAIN IN THE SNOW. PARTING OFF TO THE EAST EAST OF SAINT LOUIS. EVEN BY 7 A.M. ON MONDAY, AND WE’LL WATCH THE LOW CLOUD COVER FORM AND MAYBE EVEN FOG NEAR THAT KANSAS BORDER. AND AGAIN, THAT’S WHERE WE THINK WE COULD GET SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE. WE’LL KEEP MOST OF THE CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON, ALTHOUGH YOU COULD GET SOME PEEKS OF SUNSHINE THERE AND ANY RAIN, MAYBE SKIRTING TO THE NORTH THROUGH THE DAKOTAS AND INTO MINNESOTA. WE’LL KEEP THE CLOUDS OVERNIGHT MONDAY AND INTO TUESDAY, AND MAYBE AN INTERMITTENT LIGHT SHOWER COMING DURING TUESDAY AFTERNOON. 28 DEGREES, THE LOW TEMPERATURE FOR TONIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO CALL IT 20% ODDS. WE GET ANY SORT OF FREEZING DRIZZLE WITH A LIGHT DRIZZLE COMING DOWN AND TEMPERATURES BELOW THE FREEZING MARK. SO THAT’S WHY IT WOULD BE FREEZING DRIZZLE. BUT WE THINK JUST VERY LOW ODDS AT 20% FOR OMAHA INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE WARM UP A LITTLE BIT AGAIN, MAYBE A FEW PEEKS OF SUNSHINE WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 40S. WE HAVE 45 DEGREES FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AND THAT’S PRETTY MUCH AREA WIDE, MID 40S, MAYBE A FEW UPPER 40S SOUTHEAST OF OMAHA. SO MONDAY WE DO NOT HAVE AS AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY. WE THINK IT’S JUST SUCH LOW ODDS. YOU GET ANY KIND OF A MIST OR FREEZING DRIZZLE IN THE MORNING TOMORROW THAT YOU WON’T BE IMPACTED AT ALL. HIGH OF 45 TUESDAY WEDNESDAY WE BUMP UP INTO THE LOWER 50S AGAIN. A CHANCE OF AN INTERMITTENT SHOWER ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY, MAYBE THAT INTERMITTENT SHOWER COMES LATER IN THE EVENING, AND THEN MAYBE A THUNDERSTORM OR THUNDERSHOWER THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY. BUT AT LEAST THE TEMPERATURES WE’RE LOOKING A LOT MORE SPRINGLIKE AND ALMOST LOOKS LIKE WE’RE LEAVING WINTER BEHIND HERE IN THE SEVEN DAY. HOPEFULLY YOU DIDN’T JUST JINX IT LIKE WE SAID THAT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND THEN WE GOT SEVEN INCHES OF SNOW. YEAH, WELL, I JUST JUST FOR THIS
