Damp start Tuesday, chance for late week storms in Omaha area

BUT MORE SPRING LIKE WEATHER AHEAD. A LOT OF WEATHER TO TALK ABOUT HERE BEFORE WE GET TO THE WEEKEND, SO HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT THIS MORNING. IMPACT WEATHER WITH THE DAMP CONDITIONS FOR THE MORNING. DRIVE REALLY EARLY ON, WE’LL SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SOME DRIZZLE, MIST AND FOG REDUCING VISIBILITY NOW AS WE HEAD LATER THIS WEEK, WE’LL FINALLY GET THE SUNSHINE BACK. LOOKS LIKE THURSDAY AND A SPRING LIKE WARM-UP. HIGHS IN THE 60S AND 70S. BUT FRIDAY IMPACT WEATHER STORM CHANCES. LOOKS LIKE TWO OPPORTUNITIES. ONE EARLY ON, EARLY IN THE MORNING AND THEN ANOTHER CHANCE AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY EVENING. SO ALREADY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS A BROAD MARGINAL RISK HERE IN GREEN ACROSS OUR ENTIRE VIEWING AREA. THIS IS FOR THAT FIRST ROUND LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. MAY HAVE 1 OR 2 STORMS THAT COULD PRODUCE SOME LARGE HAIL, SO NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING WIDESPREAD. A STRONG SEVERE, BUT MAYBE 1 OR 2 STRONGER STORMS. AND THEN ROUND TWO ALREADY FOR FRIDAY EVENING. STORM PREDICTION CENTER REALLY HIGHLIGHTING SOUTHEAST OF THE METRO DOWN TOWARD MARYVILLE, FALLS CITY THE SAINT JOE AREA INTO KANSAS, MISSOURI. BEST OPPORTUNITY TO SEE POSSIBLE STRONG SEVERE STORMS STILL HAVE THAT SLIGHT RISK HERE AT 15% IN YELLOW HERE, FAR EASTERN NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA. SO RIGHT NOW JUST AN EARLY HEADS UP. COULD BE STORMY FRIDAY EVENING. SO MAKE SURE YOU’VE GOT A WAY TO RECEIVE ALERTS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT STARTING OFF YOUR WEEKEND TODAY THOUGH, JUST GRAB THE RAIN JACKET AS YOU HEAD ON OUT. 12 HOUR FORECAST IMPACT WEATHER IN JUST THROUGH THE MORNING DRIVE, AS WE’LL HAVE SOME SPITS OF MIST AND DRIZZLE, SOME LOWER VISIBILITY. THE ROADWAYS ARE DAMP BUT THEN DRYING OUT, KEEPING THE CLOUDS AROUND AGAIN. AND SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY, WE’LL SEE THOSE HIGHS AROUND 50 DEGREES. SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR WITH A THREE MINUTE ADVANTAGE SHOWING YOU THAT DRIZZLE AND MIST DRIFTING THROUGH THE METRO AREA OUT TOWARD ATLANTIC HARLAN AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE DAMP ROADWAYS. THERE’S WEST DODGE VISIBILITY YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WAY DOWNTOWN, CAN BARELY SEE TO THE VILLAGE POINT AREA. FROM OUR VIEWPOINT HERE, 38 DEGREES DEW POINT 37 AIR SATURATED REPORTING JUST SOME LIGHT RAIN MIST DRIZZLE AT EPPLEY AIRFIELD RIGHT NOW. THE GOOD NEWS IS EVERYBODY ABOVE FREEZING. WELL ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. SO NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY SLICK SPOTS, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE VISIBILITY DOWN. WE’VE GOT THE DRIZZLE AND EVEN AS IT MOVES OUT LATER THIS MORNING, STILL GOING TO SEE SOME FOG LINGER BACK WEST OF THE OMAHA METRO. WE’VE GOT A DENSE FOG ADVISORY THAT GOES UNTIL 11:00 JUST WEST OF LINCOLN. SO HEADS UP THERE, DRIZZLE MOVING THROUGH THE CLOUDS ARE LOCKED IN, SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY, SO DON’T BANK ON SEEING ANY SUNSHINE BY NOON. WE’RE DRYING OUT LOW TO MID 40S, UPPER 40S, AROUND 50 BY 4:00 5:00 AND THEN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND AGAIN TOMORROW. CAN’T RULE OUT A SPOTTY SHOWER, A LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE IN SPOTS, BUT OTHERWISE EXPECT MORE CLOUDY CONDITIONS. THOSE HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S AND LOW 50S. SUNSHINE IS BACK THURSDAY THROUGH THE 60S AND THERE’S OUR IMPACT WEATHER FOR FRIDAY WITH THOSE STORM CHANCES. AND THEN REALLY UP AND DOWN. WE COOL OFF SATURDAY AND THEN JUMP BACK
