Chance for light showers Tuesday afternoon in Omaha
Light showers possible Tuesday afternoon
EVERY SINGLE DAY. REPORTING FOR KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN. I’M JOHN GREENWALD. NOT QUITE OUT OF THE WOODS FOR RAIN POTENTIAL YET. I KNOW IT’S TOMORROW WILL BE AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY. IT’S NOT A GUARANTEE THAT EVERYONE SEES THE RAIN, AND IT’S STILL UNCERTAIN WHAT THE COVERAGE IS GOING TO BE LIKE. BUT I THINK SOMEONE IN THE VIEWING AREA, YOU’RE GOING TO GET SOME SHOWERS, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE SHOWERS WILL BE FROM ABOUT 1 P.M. TO 9 P.M. TOMORROW. AND AS I’VE LOOKED AT THE NEW DATA THAT’S COMING IN EVERY SIX HOURS OR SO, WE GET NEW DATA. IF YOU’RE TRACKING SOMETHING THAT’S 24 OR 48 HOURS OUT, AND THE NEW DATA SHOWS THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN IS INCREASING SLIGHTLY, WE DO HAVE LIMITING FACTORS, THOUGH. ONE OF THEM IS THE FACT THAT THERE’S A LOT OF DRY AIR. SINCE THAT COLD FRONT CAME THROUGH. THAT’S DRY SURFACE AIR. SO WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IS THAT RAIN IS GOING TO HAVE TO SATURATE THE ATMOSPHERE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CLOUDS DOWN. AND THEN BY THE TIME WE GET TO 1 OR 2:00, WE’LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME SPRINKLES GOING ON. I WOULD HAVE THE UMBRELLA HANDY JUST IN CASE SOMEONE’S GOING TO NEED IT FOR TOMORROW. IT’S JUST TOUGH TO PLACE WHERE THAT’S GOING TO BE. THERE’S A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. THE CLOUDS ARE STILL OVERHEAD. I THINK THEY WILL BREAK UP SOME OVERNIGHT, BUT THEY WILL BE RIGHT BACK IN FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WE’RE AT 48 DEGREES. THE NORTHWEST WIND STILL KIND OF GUSTY. IT’S AT 18MPH. AND WE’RE NOT UNDER ANY SEVERE RISK FOR STORMS TONIGHT OR TOMORROW. I DO WANT TO POINT YOUR ATTENTION DOWN TOWARDS THE BOOTHEEL OF MISSOURI, SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. THEY ARE UNDER A MODERATE LEVEL FOUR OUT OF FIVE RISK. YOU DON’T GET A LOT OF THOSE DURING THE SPRING SEASON IN ITS ENTIRETY. SO THIS IS A PRETTY HIGH RISK. AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COLD FRONT GOING TOWARDS THE BOOTHEEL OF MISSOURI INTO ILLINOIS. THAT IS A DANGEROUSLY STRONG LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT IS GOING TO IMPACT THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY FOR US. IT’S QUIET ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM. AND REALLY, WE HAVE THAT NORTHWEST WIND THAT WE FELT THIS AFTERNOON. AND THE COOLER AIR THAT’S BROUGHT IN THE WARMEST PART OF THE DAY WAS ACTUALLY THIS MORNING. THAT COLD FRONT BROUGHT THE WARMTH TO A HALT, AND WE COOLED THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AGAIN, CLOUDS BREAKING UP A LITTLE BIT OVERNIGHT. THAT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP NEAR 40 DEGREES. AND THEN TOMORROW AFTERNOON, THE CLOUDS ARE BACK AND THAT WILL COME WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. THIS MODEL HAS FOCUSED IT SOUTH OF I-80. I THINK IT REALLY COULD END UP ANYWHERE. IT’S JUST GOING TO BE LUCK OF THE DRAW FOR TOMORROW, WHERE THOSE SHOWERS END UP. AND AGAIN, THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEEING THEM WILL GROW AFTER 2 P.M. HIGH PRESSURE TAKES OVER FOR THE AFTERNOON OR THE LATE EVENING, I SHOULD SAY ON TUESDAY. THAT WILL BRING SOME SUNSHINE BACK FOR WEDNESDAY, OR AT LEAST THE START OF IT, BEFORE A COUPLE CLOUDS MOVE BACK IN FOR THE LATER AFTERNOON HOURS. ALL RIGHT, SO THE NEXT TWO DAYS, TUESDAY IMPACT WEATHER DAY, A HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE MID 50S SIMILAR TO THIS AFTERNOON. BUT WE WILL NOT HAVE AS MUCH WIND. THE NORTH WIND WILL ONLY BE AT ABOUT 5 TO 10MPH FOR TOMORROW. IT MAY FEEL A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BUT AGAIN, WATCH FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THEN WEDNESDAY HIGHS GET BACK INTO THE 60S OUTSIDE SO THAT WILL FEEL A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE AND RAIN CHANCES WILL GO DOWN. I DO WANT TO POINT YOUR ATTENTION TO SOME OF THE LOW TEMPERATURES ON THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST AS WELL. IF YOU’RE SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN A RURAL AREA, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH IN OMAHA, OR IF YOU LIVE IN A CITY OR A SUBURB. BUT ONCE YOU GET FURTHER OUT OF THE CITY, YOU COULD GET CLOSE TO FROST LIKE CONDITIONS, SAY, ON WEDNESDAY MORNING OR EVEN ON FRIDAY MORNING. SO HOPEFULLY YOU HAVEN’T PLANTED THE GARDEN YET. OR, YOU KNOW, YOU’LL PROBABLY BE FINE IF YOU DO, BUT BE A LITTLE RISKY THIS TIME OF YEAR. THAT’S MAY BY THE END OF THE SEVEN DAY LUKE. I
