LEADER, METEOROLOGIST LUKE VICKERY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. WELL, WE’RE ALMOST AT METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER. THAT WILL START ON JUNE 1ST. OF COURSE, THE MORE OFFICIAL START OF SUMMER THAT HAPPENS LATER IN JUNE ON JUNE 21ST. BUT EITHER WAY, WE’RE FEELING LIKE SUMMER RIGHT NOW. AND THOSE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS WEEK. IT WON’T BE TILL ABOUT FRIDAY WHERE WE’RE CLOSER TO NORMAL, WHICH IS UPPER 70S FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WE BOTH HAVE RAIN CHANCES, SO THOSE ARE IMPACT WEATHER DAYS. THEY’RE NOT LOOKING LIKE STRONG RAIN CHANCES. IT WON’T BE A WASHOUT EITHER DAY. AND IF YOU WANT YOUR LAWN TO STAY GREEN, THAT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH. FROM WHAT WE GET ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AGAIN WILL LOOK A LITTLE MORE SEASONABLE, WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 80S AND UPPER 70S. HOW ABOUT THE RAIN CHANCES MOVING FORWARD? WE MENTIONED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SO HERE’S THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS IS KIND OF A RUNNING TALLY OF HOW MUCH THIS COMPUTER MODEL IS FORECASTING FOR RAINFALL. NOTHING. SO I WOULDN’T EXPECT ANYTHING THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THURSDAY AFTERNOON. IT GIVES US PRETTY MUCH LESS THAN A 10TH OF AN INCH AREA WIDE. SO WHEN I SAY IF YOU WANT YOUR LAWN TO STAY EXTRA GREEN AND BEAUTIFUL, I MEAN, YOU’RE GOING TO NEED MORE THAN JUST THE RAIN WE COULD GET ON THURSDAY AND EVEN ON FRIDAY, RAIN CHANCES ARE LACKING AS WELL. SO IT’S PRETTY SLIM PICKINGS WHEN IT COMES TO THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST FOR MOISTURE. SO KNOW THAT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS, YOU LOOK TO THE NORTH AND WEST HERE. THIS IS A THUNDERSTORM ACTUALLY ABOUT 160 MILES AWAY FROM OMAHA. SO IT’S NOT IN OUR VIEWING AREA. WE’RE AT 88 DEGREES. WE HAVE A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND THE SOUTH WIND STILL KICKING AT ABOUT 15MPH. SO IT’S BREEZY FOR TODAY. AND THAT BREEZE WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING WITH TEMPERATURES GOING FROM NEAR 90 TO THE LOWER 80S BY 9:00, AND THEN WELL AFTER SUNSET, TEN AT 11:00 WILL BE IN THE MID 70S OUTSIDE. HERE’S THAT THUNDERSTORM I WAS MENTIONING. THAT’S ABOUT 160 MILES NORTH AND WEST OF OMAHA. THAT IS GOING TO STAY WELL OUT OF OUR VIEWING AREA. IT WILL KIND OF RIDE UP NORTH TOWARDS THE NEBRASKA SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER, AND WE’LL KEEP THE SKIES CLEAR FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TUESDAY LOOKS GREAT. AGAIN, IT’S NOT QUITE AS WINDY ON TUESDAY, BUT STILL BREEZY. A LOT OF SUNSHINE THROUGH THE DAY, MAYBE SOME HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS CLOUDS. AND THAT’S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR US. SO THAT’S ALL OF TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY WE’LL START WITH SUNSHINE AGAIN. WE’LL CONTINUE WITH A LIGHTER SOUTH BREEZE, AND WE COULD HAVE SOME MORE FILTERED SUNSHINE THAT BECOMES MORE CLOUDY AS WE GET LATER INTO THE AFTERNOON. ON WEDNESDAY, WITH AN ACTUAL LOW CHANCE OF A THUNDERSHOWER, BUT THAT WOULD STAY SOUTH OF OMAHA. IF WE DO SEE IT, THE ODDS ARE STILL LOW. SO TUESDAY 89 WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. WEDNESDAY AGAIN, THE VERY LOW CHANCE WE’RE CALLING IT 20% ODDS OF A SHOWER SOUTH OF OMAHA. TEMPERATURES ARE STILL VERY WARM EITHER DAY. BEST CHANCES FOR RAINFALL WILL COME ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT EVEN THOSE ARE PRETTY WEAK RAIN CHANCES. AND EVEN WHAT WE DO GET ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE PRETTY LIGHT UNDER A 10TH OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL SATURDAY. SUNDAY, WE’RE A LITTLE COOLER BACK INTO THE LOWER 80S, BUT IT’S STILL KIND OF A SUMMER LIKE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, WHICH IS NICE. A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOOD POOLS, STUFF LIKE THAT OPENED UP HERE ON MEMORIAL DAY, AND YOU’LL HAVE BETTER WEATHER TO CONTINUE DOING THOSE ACTIVITIE
