Impact weather ahead this weekend in the metro

SEVEN. AINSLEY GOEBEL JOINS US NOW. AINSLEY IT’S A BIG WEEKEND IN OMAHA. A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON. AND OF COURSE MOTHER NATURE DECIDING TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE. YES. ALWAYS CWS HAS TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF WEATHER IMPACT. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE’RE IN A FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW. THIS IS FOR 7 P.M. SATURDAY THROUGH 7 A.M. SUNDAY. SO THAT MEANS THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE THINKS WE’RE GOING TO GET A HEFTY AMOUNT OF RAIN IN THAT TIME, BUT STAYING MOSTLY SOUTH OF I-80, DOUGLAS AND SARPY STILL KIND OF ON THE EDGE OF IT, BUT QUIET ON DEUEL POLK RIGHT NOW. LOOKING GOOD. MIGHT HAVE HEARD SOME OF THOSE, MAYBE NOT EVEN HEARD, BUT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EARLIER, MAYBE A LITTLE PITTER PATTER ON THE ROOF. HERE IS OUR SKYCAM. SOME FIREWORKS WERE JUST GOING OFF A COUPLE MINUTES AGO. WE WERE HOPING THEY’D STICK AROUND, BUT IT WAS A LITTLE MORE SHORT LIVED THAN WE’D PREFER, BUT STILL COOL TO SEE 65 DEGREES DRY OUT RIGHT NOW. AND 60S FOR MOST OF THE REST OF THE AREA. NOW, HERE’S WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE. ENHANCED RISK FOR THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF OUR VIEWING AREA. SLIGHT RISK KIND OF CLIPPING THE OMAHA METRO FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. AND MOSTLY JUST HEAVY RAINFALL IS WHAT WE’RE REALLY LOOKING AT HERE. WIND, HAIL, TORNADO THREAT LOOKING RELATIVELY LOW, NEVER ZERO, BUT STILL JUST KIND OF WATCHING THAT. BUT FOR NOW, IMPACT WEATHER TAPERING OFF AS WE GET INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND WE’RE COOLING DOWN AND ALSO DRYING OUT AND WAKING UP RELATIVELY COOL IN THE MORNING AS WELL. 65 DEGREES. BUT HERE’S WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE ON STORM PREDICTOR. WAKING UP DRY TOMORROW MORNING. IT’S A GOOD THING THAT CW S GAME IS GETTING OUT OF THE WAY, BECAUSE THIS IS 1 P.M. AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A NEW RUN OF OUR COMPUTER MODEL, BUT STILL LOOKS ABOUT THE SAME BY 5 P.M. HOPEFULLY THE GAME IS WRAPPING UP BY THAT POINT. GOOD CALL TO MOVE IT EARLIER THOUGH. THIS MODEL RUN LOOKING A LITTLE CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC HERE. DRIER, BUT COULD JUST AS EASILY BE OVER OMAHA. SO BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY TO MOVE THAT CW S GAME EARLIER, BUT STILL WAKING UP SUNDAY FOR YOUR FATHER’S DAY. THAT’S AWESOME AND DRY FOR THE MOST PART. 1 P.M. BY LUNCHTIME. LOOKING GOOD AND WE’LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS LATER IN THE OVERNIGHT. BECAUSE EARLIER I HAD SOMETHING DIVING INTO LINCOLN AROUND 9 P.M. AND STILL PRETTY SIMILAR, BROKEN UP A LITTLE BIT MORE, BUT DIVING SOUTH OF THE METRO, NOT NECESSARILY AN ISSUE FOR US, BUT IT’S GOING TO SHOW UP IN THESE RAIN TOTALS HERE. JUST TRACE AMOUNTS PICKING UP HERE. AND THEN 1.49 IN LINCOLN. THIS IS ALSO UPDATING ALONG WITH OUR OTHER GRAPHIC. AND WHOA, THAT IS A LOT MORE RAIN THAN WE HAD IN OUR LAST MODEL. THREE INCHES IN BEATRICE IN THAT YELLOW IS ACTUALLY SIX INCHES. THAT COULD BE SOME LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUT OUT FOR US. SO THIS IS KIND OF COMING INTO AGREEMENT WITH THAT. AND YOU KNOW, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, ARE THOSE IMPACTS THAT WE’RE WATCHING EARLIER SUNDAY, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME DRY TIME FOR FATHER’S DAY. SO THAT’S GOOD NEWS. BUT THOSE FANTASTIC TEMPERATURES COMING ON MONDAY, TUESDAY, LOWER RAIN CHANCES. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT WE’RE CLOSE TO ASTRONOMICAL SUMMER IN JUNE. WE’RE GOING TO START SUMMER SUNDAY. RIGHT. AND THEN WE GO BACK INTO THE 70S. YEAH. FOR SPRING LIKE TEMPERATURES. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
