Cool, breezy Wednesday afternoon in the Omaha area

LITTLE COOL TODAY, BUT DON’T WORRY, WE’LL BE WARMING UP SOON ENOUGH. BUT WE’RE GETTING AN EARLY HEADS UP TO THE WEEKEND. BIG WEEKEND. IT’S MOTHER’S DAY, BUT SATURDAY IS OUR LOW IMPACT DAY AND OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST CHANCE FOR SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS, POSSIBLY SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING COULD BE IMPACTED. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING SEVERE, BUT YOU SEE THE TEMPERATURES 78 DEGREES MOTHER’S DAY. IT WILL BE DRY TEMPERATURES AROUND 70 BY THE END OF THE DAY. RIGHT NOW WE’RE SEEING SOME BLUE SKY BETWEEN THE CLOUDS LOOKING OUT OVER I-80 NEAR GILES FROM OUR EMBASSY SUITES LA VISTA SKYCAM TEMPERATURES MID 50S RIGHT NOW, 55 IN OMAHA, 56. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT NORTHWEST WIND AROUND 515MPH, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU’RE AT. WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE GUSTS 20 TO 25MPH. SO A LITTLE BREEZIER AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AND THEN ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN, YOU SEE THE WIND WILL CALM AGAIN. SO IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT THIS AFTERNOON, MAY HAVE THE WINDBREAKER OR JUST A SWEATSHIRT ON AS WE’LL KEEP THOSE TEMPERATURES VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY, UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 AND THEN COOLING OFF ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN WITH CLEAR SKIES. BUT HIGH TEMPERATURES YESTERDAY HIT 60 AT EPPLEY. RIGHT NOW FORECASTING 60 DEGREES AT EPPLEY FOR THE HIGH DAYS. UPPER 50S LOW 60S FOR MOST OF THE VIEWING AREA. SEE SOME OF THOSE CLOUDS ON THE SATELLITE RADAR LOOP AND YOU THINK, OH, IT’S A COOL MAY DAY, BUT HEY, AT LEAST IT’S NOT SNOWING. LOOK AT THIS WINTER STORM IN COLORADO. IT’S DUMPED ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 10IN IN THE DENVER METRO ESTES PARK, COLORADO, MORE THAN TWO FEET. SO AGAIN, IT’S EARLY MAY. IT COULD BE COLDER, COULD BE SNOWIER NONE OF THAT HERE THOUGH, WE’RE GOING TO SEE OUR TEMPERATURES START TO WARM BACK UP HERE. SEE STORM PREDICTOR HERE. A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE THERE FOR 5:00 UP AROUND 60 DEGREES, CLEARING OUT OVERNIGHT. BUT WE PICK UP MORE OF A SOUTH BREEZE AND ESPECIALLY WHERE WE’VE GOT SOME CLOUDS UP NORTH, IT MAY PREVENT THE TEMPERATURE FROM DROPPING TOO MUCH. SO MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHY FROST. BUT MOST OF US, I THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITHOUT COVERING UP THE PLANTS. TONIGHT. WE’LL START OFF IN THE UPPER 30S, LOW 40S, BUT MORE SUNSHINE. SOUTHWEST BREEZE TOMORROW. SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. AND THEN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. A CHANCE WE COULD SEE A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS SO WE COULD TAKE WHATEVER MOISTURE WE CAN GET. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’D BE MORE IN THE NIGHT TIME. SO FRIDAY DURING THE DAY LOOKING DRY MID TO UPPER 70S DAYTIME SHOWER, STORM CHANCES. SATURDAY AGAIN OUR IMPACT DAY DRY FOR MOTHER’S DAY AND THEN WARMING UP EVEN MORE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY THE END OF THAT
