Omaha weather: Lingering showers, storms possible Monday

DAMPEN THINGS UP. BUT THAT’S WHAT WE’RE WATCHING HERE ON YOUR MONDAY. SOME MORNING RAIN CHANCES AND DOWN SOUTH, HEAVIER RAIN STILL HAVE A FLOOD WATCH. FAR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA, NORTHWEST MISSOURI AND A FEW COUNTIES FAR SOUTHWEST IOWA. THERE. FREMONT AND PAGE COUNTY. SO REALLY, NEBRASKA CITY AND SOUTH. THAT FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON, REALLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS FROM ABOUT AUBURN THROUGH TARKIO, JUST SOUTH OF CLARINDA. STRIPE HERE OF 1 TO 3IN OF RAINFALL. SO THAT’S WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS BEEN FALLING OVERNIGHT. YOU SEE, OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS, NEARLY HALF INCH NEBRASKA CITY SINCE THIS TIME YESTERDAY MORNING IN OMAHA, NOTHING. BUT WE HAD ABOUT A 10TH OF AN INCH BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND ABOUT 4 A.M. ON SUNDAY. OFFICIALLY, EPPLEY AIRFIELD THE HEAVIER RAIN, SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER. MARYVILLE THROUGH THE AREA. THIS IS HEADING MORE EAST AND NORTHEAST. STILL SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN DOWN TOWARD BEATRICE AND EVEN HEAVIER RAIN. SEVERE WEATHER LINE OF SEVERE STORMS, FLASH FLOODING ONGOING IN THE KANSAS CITY METRO AREA. SO THE BIGGEST STORMS WELL OFF TO THE SOUTH. BUT IT’S THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THIS THAT’S GOING TO TRY AND SKIRT THE OMAHA METRO HERE THIS MORNING AND BRING SOME RAIN CHANCES FOR YOUR MORNING DRIVE. YOU CAN SEE HERE ON SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR. JUST SOME VERY LIGHT RAIN. OVERSPREADING OMAHA HERE OVER THE LAST HALF HOUR. SOME STEADY RAIN DOWN TOWARDS PLATTSMOUTH AND A BIT MORE DOWN TOWARD THE LINCOLN AREA, SO IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN FOR US, BUT WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THE CHANCES IN MAINLY THROUGH THE MORNING. BEST CHANCES THROUGH AROUND 7:00. SO THE EARLY PART OF THE MORNING DRIVE DAMP FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING DRIVE, AND THEN ANOTHER CHANCE AROUND TEN, 11:00 AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. NOTICE ON THE 12 HOUR FORECAST, 60S LATE MORNING TOWARD NOON AND THEN DROPPING IN THE AFTERNOON. THAT’S BECAUSE THE FRONT COMES THROUGH IN THE NORTHWEST. WIND WILL PICK UP GUSTING 20 TO 30MPH. SO LIKELY GOING TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES SLIDE THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. SO RAIN CHECK IN THE MORNING WINDBREAKER FOR THE AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE THE RAIN DROPS HERE FROM MEMPHIS WOMEN’S HOSPITAL NEAR 100 192ND AND DODGE. SO SOME DAMP ROADWAYS FOR MORNING DRIVE EPPLEY STILL JUST REPORTING. CLOUDY SKIES, 62 DEGREES WITH A LITTLE SOUTHEAST BREEZE, SO STILL A MILD START. UPPER 50S LOW 60S, BUT TEMPERATURES PROBABLY WON’T GET MUCH WARMER THAN THAT EVEN LATER THIS MORNING. SO HERE IN STORM PREDICTOR 7:00, STILL HEAVIER RAIN. SOUTHWEST IOWA, MAYBE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS STILL AROUND THE METRO AREA. BUT AS THE SUN IS UP, WILL LIKELY START TO DRY OUT A LITTLE BIT. STOPPING HERE AT 10:00, LIKELY WHEN THAT FRONT WILL BE ON THE DOORSTEP OF THE METRO. THAT COULD KICK UP A FEW SHOWERS. THEN BY NOON, THOSE SHOWERS MORE INTO SOUTHWEST IOWA WILL BE DRYING OUT BY THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. THE NORTHWEST WIND PICKING UP THOSE TEMPERATURES STARTING TO DROP LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, EXPECTING MORE ACTIVE WEATHER EARLY. DES MOINES AND EAST WILL BE DRY HERE. CLOUDY, WINDY TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO SLIDE AND CONTINUE OVERNIGHT TOMORROW MORNING, STARTING OFF IN THE 40S, I THINK WE’LL START THE DAY OFF DRY BUT CAN’T RULE OUT A SPOTTY SHOWER AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TEMPERATURES MUCH COOLER AFTERNOON. HIGHS IN THE 50S. WE’VE GOT IMPACT WEATHER TODAY, TOMORROW, AND THEN DRYING OUT FOR THE FINAL DAYS OF APRIL. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY, THE END OF THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, SUNSHINE 70S LOOKING LIKE FANTASTIC WEATHER
