Impacts linger Friday after winter storm in Omaha area

STILL QUITE A BIT OF SNOW ON THE ROADWAYS. SO IF YOU DON’T HAVE TO HEAD OUT THIS MORNING, I MEAN, YOU CAN JUST PARK AT HOME. AND A LOT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS CANCELED AGAIN BECAUSE WE GOT 6 TO 9IN OF SNOW ACROSS THE OMAHA METRO, OUR BIGGEST SNOW HERE IN OMAHA IN FIVE YEARS HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE END OF JANUARY 2021. SINCE WE HAD A BIGGER SNOW. TOTAL EPPLEY AIRFIELD JUST OVER EIGHT INCHES AT LATEST REPORT NEAR NINE IN BENNINGTON LINCOLN SEVEN. REPORT THERE THAT CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT NEAR SIX AND A HALF SEVEN IN MILLARD WAHOO JUST SHY OF SEVEN FOLKS IN FREMONT HAD A REPORT OF 6.5IN FOR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND VALLEY JUST OVER SIX, SAME AS OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE IN BELLEVUE, MISSOURI. VALLEY, IOWA SIX AND MALVERN, IOWA, OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST A LITTLE BIT, 3.5IN. SO A BIG WINTER STORM. IT TOOK A WHILE FOR THAT SNOW TO GET GOING, BUT ONCE IT DID, IT WAS COMING DOWN. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS A LOOP OF THE LAST 12 HOURS OF THAT SNOW JUST BARRELING THROUGH THE I-80 CORRIDOR IN NEBRASKA AND IOWA. SO ONCE THAT SNOW STARTED, IT DID NOT STOP UNTIL JUST ABOUT AN HOUR AGO HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO. SO THE SNOW DONE FALLING ACROSS THE AREA, THE CLOUDS STARTING TO BREAK UP A BIT, BUT STILL GOING TO SEE THOSE LINGERING IMPACTS, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THIS MORNING WITH SLICK AND SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS. THAT’S WHERE WE’VE GOT THE IMPACT ICON THROUGH THE NOON HOUR HERE ON THE 12 HOUR FORECAST. ALONG WITH THAT, IT’S COLD, THE WIND IS BLOWING. THE WIND CHILL WILL HOVER NEAR AND BELOW ZERO FOR A TIME THIS MORNING. EVEN WITH ALL THE SUNSHINE, WE’RE GOING TO STRUGGLE TO WARM UP WITH ALL THAT SNOW ON THE GROUND. TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S THIS AFTERNOON, BUT STILL GOING TO FEEL MORE LIKE THE TEENS. MOST OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS. CLOUD COVER YOU CAN STILL SEE FROM 72ND CROWN POINT. THERE’S THE BLANKET OF SNOW ON THE BENSON GOLF COURSE. I KNOW SOME FOLKS HAVE BEEN PLAYING GOLF IN RECENT WEEKS WITH THAT STRETCH OF 60S AND 70S WE HAD, BUT IT IS WINTER TIME AGAIN AND GOLFING ANYTIME SOON AS WE SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS FEELING LIKE ONE BELOW AT EPPLEY RIGHT NOW, WITH THAT NORTHWEST WIND STILL SUSTAINED 20MPH, SO TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS FEELING LIKE NEAR AND BELOW ZERO. IT’S NINE BELOW IN YORK, THREE BELOW COLUMBUS, ONE BELOW FREMONT PLATTSMOUTH HERE IN OMAHA, ONE ABOVE IN LINCOLN WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 15 TO 25MPH. STILL SEEING THOSE GUSTS EARLY ON. CLOSER TO 30, BUT STRONGEST WIND IS NOW AND WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF, BUT STILL EXPECT THOSE GUSTS BETWEEN 15 20MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SO THAT’S GOING TO KEEP THAT CHILL ALL DAY LONG. SO STORM PREDICTOR CLOUDS BREAK UP. WE’LL SEE. AMPLE SUNSHINE AGAIN. GIVE YOURSELF A LOT OF EXTRA TIME IF YOU DO HAVE TO HEAD OUT THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES TEENS LOW 20S BY NOON. EVEN WITH THE SUNSHINE. LIGHTER WINDS THIS AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES REALLY GOING TO STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE MID 20S. NOW WE’LL SEE CLOUD COVER INCREASE OVERNIGHT. MAYBE A FEW FLURRIES SOUTH IN THE METRO AREA. SOME BRIEF LIGHT SNOW CLOSER TO THE KANSAS BORDER BUT STAYS AWAY HERE FROM THE METRO AREA. WE’LL START OFF TOMORROW. COLD, CLOUDY. MORE SUNSHINE IN THE AFTERNOON WITH THOSE HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S. SO THE COLD LOCKED IN THROUGH YOUR WEEKEND. HIGHS IN THE 20S. COULD SEE THAT TEMPERATURE NEAR ZERO BY MONDAY MORNING. THEN WE WILL TRY TO WARM UP A LOT OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. SO THAT MAY LIMIT OUR HEATING CAPABILITY. BUT EXPECT TO SEE 40S BY TUESDAY AND COULD POSSIBLY GET CLOSE TO 50 B
