Evening t’shower chance for Omaha with gusty winds

ALL LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE SPRING. THERE. BUT GOING FORWARD, WE’RE THINKING THERE’S A CHANCE THERE COULD BE SOME SNOW IN WINTER, LIKE TEMPERATURES. I KNEW YOU, I KNEW YOU, BUT YEAH. HERE. THIS EVENING, THOUGH, IT’S ALMOST LIKE SUMMER. WE’VE GOT WARM TEMPERATURES. WE’VE GOT STRONG WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH. STILL, WITH ALL THAT, I GIVE IT A RANDOM FACTOR OF FIVE. TOLERABLE BECAUSE THERE’S A CHANCE WE COULD GET A SHOWER THAT COULD PRODUCE VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS. THESE SHOWERS IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA ARE NOT DOING MUCH AT THE MOMENT, BUT JUST KIND OF A COINCIDENCE OF TIMING AND UPPER LEVEL WIND FIELDS COULD PRODUCE SOME DRYING SHOWER ACTIVITY THAT AS THE AIR DESCENDS, IT EVAPORATES AND CAUSES STRONG WINDS TO REACH THE GROUND. SO THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS A MARGINAL RISK OF A SEVERE STORM. AND REALLY, IT’S JUST A SHOWER. BUT THAT COULD PRODUCE STRONG WINDS. THAT’S OUR COMPUTER MODEL. FORECAST FOR 6:00, 7:00 AND THEN 8:00 THIS EVENING. NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE. NO HAIL, NO TORNADO, BUT COULD BE SOME REALLY GUSTY WINDS WITH A FEW OF THESE. AND ALL DONE BY NINE. 10:00 TONIGHT. SKIES CLEARING AFTER THAT. THEN WE LOOK AHEAD TO THURSDAY WHERE THERE’S A SNOW POSSIBILITY ACROSS PARTS OF NEBRASKA AND IOWA. THE EUROPEAN COMPUTER MODEL HAS UNDER AN INCH IN OMAHA, BUT HAS SEVERAL INCHES ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHWEST IOWA. THE GFS COMPUTER MODEL, A FEW OTHER ONES, HAVE A NARROWER BAND CLOSER TO OMAHA WITH MAYBE A LITTLE MORE, SO WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH THIS CLOSELY BECAUSE IT COULD SHIFT AROUND AS FAR AS THE PLACEMENT OF THE SNOW. TIMING OF IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT. AND JUST ARE WE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW? CERTAINLY NOT TODAY. WITH A HIGH OF 70 SO FAR, NOT MAKING THE RECORD HIGH TODAY, WHICH IS 75. AND OF COURSE, NO MOISTURE TODAY FOR THE MONTH. LOOK AT THE BLUE SKY WE’VE GOT. THAT’S OUR CAMERA AT THE LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE BUILDING, 70 STRONG SOUTH WIND AND PRETTY DRY AIR. DEW POINT IS 45. THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS THERE IS THAT FIRE DANGER, ESPECIALLY WEST OF OMAHA. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 70S, 72 COLUMBUS 73, IN YORK 71 DEGREES IN OMAHA. BUT AGAIN, REALLY DRY DEW POINTS IN THE LOW 40S, TYPICALLY, TO GET SEVERE STORMS, WE NEED DEW POINTS IN THE 50S. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE PROBABLY SHOWERS WITH REALLY STRONG WIND POTENTIAL POSSIBLY COMING TO THE AREA. NOTHING CLOSE TO US RIGHT NOW. IT’S THIS ACTIVITY JUST WEST, A LITTLE BIGGER PICTURE. YOU CAN SEE THIS. THAT’S OUR WIND CHANCE HERE THIS EVENING. WITH THAT MOVING ON THROUGH. SO TONIGHT THE EVENING SHOWER, MAYBE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER, GUSTY WINDS, A THREAT WITH THAT 42 FOR OUR LOW TEMPERATURE TOMORROW. PRETTY TRANQUIL. PRETTY MILD, MOSTLY SUNNY DAY AGAIN AND THEN WILL BE COOL OFF FAST ENOUGH ON THURSDAY FOR SNOW. MAYBE SOME RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW OR CHANGING TO SNOW. BUT WE’RE FOLLOWING THAT CLOSELY AND WE HAVE IT AS AN IMPACT. WEATHER DAY ON THURSDAY FOR OUR COMPUTER MODELS ACTUALLY GIVE US SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW, AND I’M NOT ESPECIALLY SET ON THAT POSSIBILITY. I AM SET ON TH
