Near perfect weather on Wednesday, turning windy and warmer on Thursday
Warm and dry weather ahead
WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. WELL, I MENTIONED EARLIER IN THE NEWSCAST THAT WE HAVE NO SHORTAGE OF WARM DAYS HERE MOVING FORWARD. SO THIS WEEK WE’RE EXPECTING ALL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. A NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WOULD BE LOW 70S. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL HAVE A LOT OF 80 DEGREE DAYS COMING UP. AND THE WEEKEND IS WHEN WE’LL PROBABLY BE OUR WARMEST. I THINK FRIDAY WE COULD TOUCH 90, SATURDAY WE COULD GET CLOSE. SO A LOT OF WARM DAYS IN THE FORECAST. WE’RE STILL GOING KIND OF UP THAT ROLLER COASTER RIDE OF TEMPERATURES WHEN IT COMES TO RAIN, BECAUSE WE DO NEED IT. THERE’S A CHANCE ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY WE HAVE TWO IMPACT WEATHER DAYS IN THE FORECAST. AND THE REASON WE NEED RAIN. I MEAN, LOOK AT MAY IN ITS ENTIRETY RIGHT NOW, OR AT LEAST HOW FAR WE’VE BEEN IN MAY. WE’VE ONLY HAD THREE 107 INCH OF MOISTURE. THAT’S HARDLY ANYTHING THAT PUTS US MORE THAN AN INCH AND A HALF BELOW NORMAL. AND THE REASON YOUR LAWN DOESN’T LOOK RUSTY AND JUST DRY IS BECAUSE WE GOT ALMOST FOUR INCHES THROUGH THE MONTH OF APRIL, WHICH PUT US ABOUT A HALF AN INCH ABOVE NORMAL FOR THAT MONTH. SO WE STILL HAVE SOME NOT SUPER DROUGHT LIKE CONDITIONS. BUT IF WE DON’T GET RAIN MOVING FORWARD, IT’S GOING TO GET A LITTLE WORSE. WE’RE 76 RIGHT NOW WITH A WEST WIND AT 13MPH. YOU’RE GOING TO CAST YOUR BALLOT TODAY. TEMPERATURES LOOK GREAT. IT’S COMFORTABLE. IT’S JUST A LITTLE BREEZY OUTSIDE, BUT OUR HIGHS SHOULD MANAGE THE LOWER 80S TODAY. SO 82 FOR OMAHA, MAYBE A LITTLE COOLER NORTH AND WEST OF OMAHA. 79 NORFOLK COLUMBUS YOU COULD BE AT 78 DEGREES, BUT IF YOU’RE SOUTH OF I-80, MID 80S MAY BE A GOOD BET. NOW, THIS IS KIND OF A CONGLOMERATE OF ALL THE RADARS, THE ONE IN DES MOINES, OMAHA, KANSAS CITY, TOPEKA, HASTINGS AND IT’S SHOWING SOME RAIN ALOFT IN THE ATMOSPHERE. BUT NONE OF THAT IS REALLY REACHING IT TO THE GROUND BECAUSE THE AIR IS JUST SO DRY. SO A LOT OF THAT’S EVAPORATING. SO I WOULDN’T PLAN ON NEEDING THE RAIN JACKET THIS AFTERNOON. THAT FRONT THAT’S CAUSING ALL THE CLOUD COVER WILL DROP TO THE SOUTH, AND THEN WE’LL SEE CLEARING SKIES LATE THIS EVENING. OVERNIGHT HIGH PRESSURE TAKES OVER. THE WINDS WILL CALM DOWN OVERNIGHT. AND WEDNESDAY WE STAY WITH MORE OF A CALM BREEZE. WE’LL KEEP THE SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES AROUND 80. SO WEDNESDAY IS A REALLY NICE DAY IN THE FORECAST. SOUTH WIND RETURNS FOR THURSDAY AND WE GET A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY, AND THAT WILL BRING SOME WARMER AIR AS WELL. SO IT LOOKS LIKE TEMPERATURES BY THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE MID 80S, PERHAPS SO 80 FOR WEDNESDAY, MAYBE A TOP TEN DAY THURSDAY. WE’RE UP TO 83 DEGREES WITH MORE CLOUD COVER. BUT AGAIN IT TURNS WINDY ON THURSDAY. SO WE COULD EVEN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FIRE DANGER CONCERNS BECAUSE THE AIR IS GOING TO BE SO DRY OUTSIDE AND YOU GET THE WIND WHIPPING AROUND. BASICALLY THE FIRE STARTED. IT WOULD SPREAD QUICKLY. SO JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. THURSDAY. PROBABLY NOT A GOOD DAY TO BURN. AND I THINK DOUGLAS COUNTY EVEN STILL UNDER A BURN BAN. SO IT KIND OF GOES WITHOUT SAYING. AND THEN SUNDAY, MONDAY ARE TO IMPACT WEATHER DAYS WITH
