Milder Wednesday after chilly start in Omaha area

METEOROLOGIST AND BUT AFTER A VERY ACTIVE PAST WEEK OR SO, WE’RE ENTERING A QUIET STRETCH FOR NOW AS WE CLOSE OUT APRIL AND HEAD INTO MAY. SO HERE’S WHAT WE CAN PLAY FOR. MAINLY DRY HERE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE MID TO LATE WEEK AND COOL BY LATE APRIL. STANDARDS BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. NOW. SOMETHING TO WATCH FOR HERE IN THE METRO. WE’VE GOT SOME FROST POTENTIAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNINGS. A FEW SPOTS OUTSIDE THE METRO COULD BE FLIRTING WITH THAT FREEZING MARK, SO STILL MAY HAVE TO COVER UP YOUR PLANTS IF YOU’VE ALREADY PLANTED THUS FAR. BUT AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND, WARMER TEMPERATURES EVENTUALLY ARRIVE, TEMPERATURES CLIMBING UPPER 60S AND INTO THE 70S THIS WEEKEND. NOW ALREADY THIS MORNING, WE DO HAVE A FROST ADVISORY WEST OF LINCOLN FOR OUR WESTERN COUNTIES. NORFOLK. COLUMBUS. DAVID CITY THROUGH YORK. FAIRBURY UNTIL 9:00 THIS MORNING. WE’RE ALREADY SEEING THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S. 32 RIGHT NOW NORFOLK 34 COLUMBUS AND YORK. AND WE HAVE THE RAIN YESTERDAY. SO LIKELY SOME FROST THERE TO START THE DAY. WE’RE AT 39 IN OMAHA, LOW 40S ELSEWHERE TO START THE DAY. THANKFULLY THE WIND IS LIGHT, BUT WHERE WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE, YOU CAN SEE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 20S AND 30S RIGHT NOW FEELS LIKE 35 IN OMAHA, DOWN TO 27 IN YORK AND NORFOLK. SO CERTAINLY A MORNING. YOU NEED THE JACKET ON THE 12 HOUR FORECAST. CHILLY START, BUT THANKFULLY AGAIN, THE WIND LIGHT. WE’LL SEE AMPLE SUNSHINE THOUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY MID-FIFTIES BY NOON, AND THEN EVEN A FEW MORE AFTERNOON CLOUDS. EXPECT TO GET THOSE TEMPERATURES INTO THE 60S LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. NOW, A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN IN OMAHA YESTERDAY EVENING BEFORE IT DEPARTED. NOW, AS YOU HEAD TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES, THE CLOUDS HAVE CLEARED OUT OVERNIGHT. SO CLEARING SKIES, LIGHT WIND, ALLOWING THAT TEMPERATURE TO DROP HERE BEFORE SUNRISE. AS WE LOOK OVER OMAHA FROM 72ND CROWN POINT CLEAR SKIES RIGHT NOW EPPLEY 39 BUT FEELS LIKE 35 WITH THAT NORTH BREEZE AT SIX MILES PER HOUR AS OF 5:00. SO STORM PREDICTOR TODAY AGAIN, CHILLY START, LOTS OF SUNSHINE THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY INTO THE 50S BY THE LUNCH HOUR AND THEN INTO THE 60S THIS AFTERNOON WITH A FEW MORE CLOUDS. NOW AFTER SUNSET. CAN’T RULE OUT A SPOTTY SHOWER. WE’LL BE KEEPING THAT CHANCE IN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. SO REALLY HIT AND MISS. MOST ARE GOING TO STAY DRY. FRONT’S GOING TO SAG SOUTH TOMORROW, SO STILL COULD KICK UP A STRAY SHOWER. THE FIRST HALF OF THURSDAY. AGAIN, MAJORITY OF US STAYING DRY, BUT NORTH BREEZE IN THE AFTERNOON. MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE. HIGHS UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 DEGREES. SO STILL A LITTLE COOL TO FINISH OFF. APRIL AND START MAY AGAIN. FROST POTENTIAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING, BUT WE’LL SEE THOSE HIGH TEMPERATURES START TO IMPROVE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SO BEAUTIFUL WEATHER TO GET OUTSIDE. SUNSHINE UPPER 6
