Friday looks good again around Omaha with light winds and mild temperatures

AHEAD FOR THE MELT FACTOR? I WONDER IF IT’S EASIER TO CARVE WHEN IT’S A LITTLE MELTY LIKE THAT. STICK AROUND VERY LONG. YOU’RE RIGHT. I HAVE NO IDEA. FIND OUT. WE’VE GOT SOME REALLY MILD TEMPERATURES IN THE FORECAST. WE’VE ALREADY HAD SOME MILD TEMPERATURES. RAIN FACTOR, TIME COMING UP FOR THE DAY ON FRIDAY. I SAY OVERALL, IT’S A SIX. OKAY FOR BEING AND WORKING OUTSIDE. BUT, YOU KNOW, CHILLY IN THE MORNING AND PRETTY NICE. PLEASANT IN THE AFTERNOON. SO IF YOU CHECK BACK IN AT AROUND THREE, 4 OR 5:00, IT WILL PROBABLY BE A FACTOR OF SEVEN AT THAT TIME. 60 TODAY, 35 DEGREES, THE LOW TEMPERATURE. THESE ARE WAY, WAY ABOVE THE AVERAGES. NO MOISTURE, NONE FOR THE MONTH. HARDLY ANY SINCE ALL THAT RAIN THAT WAS NEARLY AN INCH ON JANUARY 8TH. DESERT DOME DOWN HERE AT THE HENRY DOORLY ZOO 36 TEMPERATURE FEELS LIKE 36 BECAUSE THE WINDS ARE LIGHT. NO WIND CHILL, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING. 46 AT THE COUNCIL BLUFFS AIRPORT, 35 AT OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE. THE BLAIR AIRPORT IS 43. 33 OUT AT THE FREMONT AIRPORT AND 31 AT THE WAHOO AIRPORT IN THE 20S, NOW IN COLUMBUS AND TEKAMAH. LIGHT WINDS, CLEAR SKIES. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL QUICKLY IN THAT SITUATION. ALL RIGHT. PRETTY QUIET THERE ON DEUEL POLL. SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR. THE SATELLITE PICTURES JUST SHOW A FEW LITTLE HIGH CLOUDS. AND THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THAT’S JUST COLD AIR SHOWING UP ON THE SATELLITE PICTURES. THAT BEING AN INFRARED SATELLITE PICTURE SENSITIVE TO TEMPERATURE. ALL RIGHT, SO THERE ARE CLOUDS WEST OF US, BUT THEY’RE THINNING OUT AS THEY MOVE EASTWARD. AND YOU LOOK AT THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE, NO BIG STORM SYSTEMS. WE’RE WARM. WE’RE GOING TO STAY WARM. CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER THINKS FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES FORECAST HERE. BUT MAYBE A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE AS WE GET MORE OF A STORM TRACK ACROSS THE MIDWEST. SO THERE ARE SOME RAIN AND POSSIBLY SNOW CHANCES BY LATE NEXT WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW GIVES US ANOTHER REALLY NICE DAY AS WE GO THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. CLOUDS ON THE INCREASE. SHOWERS CREEP UP BUT LIKELY STAY JUST SOUTH OF OMAHA HERE INTO KANSAS AND MISSOURI. BUT IF YOU’RE IN FAR SOUTHERN NEBRASKA, STAY SOUTH OF NEBRASKA CITY. TECUMSEH, PAWNEE CITY AUBURN MAYBE YOU GET A LITTLE SPOTTY SHOWER ON SATURDAY 25 TONIGHT, 29 AT 8 A.M., 55 BY MIDDAY, 60 AT 4:00, AND A HIGH OF 61. VALENTINE’S DAY. MORE CLOUDS. THE SHOWER. CHANCE JUST OFF TO THE SOUTH. PRESIDENT’S DAY ON MONDAY LOOKS GOOD. WE’VE GOT THE START OF RAMADAN AND LUNAR NEW YEAR ON TUESDAY, AND THEN ASH WEDNESDAY AND THE WARM THROUGH THAT WHOLE STRETCH. MY GOODNESS, A GREAT STRETCH. THANKS, BILL. SURE THI
