Staying warm and dry for the near future in Omaha
Warm and dry weather ahead
RULES AND LICENSING REGULATIONS. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE BIG STADIUM THERE FOR MUCH LONGER. THEY’RE MOVING RIGHT IN KANSAS. WELL, WE GOT SOME NICE WEATHER AHEAD. AT LEAST WARMER TEMPERATURES. WE DON’T HAVE A TON OF RAINFALL IN THE FORECAST, BUT EVENTUALLY WE’RE REALLY GOING TO NEED THE RAIN BECAUSE IT’S BEEN DRY RECENTLY TO START THE MONTH OF MAY AND ONGOING HERE IN THE MONTH OF MAY. IT’S A PRETTY QUIET FORECAST FOR TONIGHT. IT’S GOING TO BE VERY SMALL RAIN CHANCES MOVING FORWARD. WE GOT ONE ON TUESDAY, EARLY TUESDAY MORNING, MAYBE A FEW SPRINKLES. THERE’S GOING TO BE A COLD FRONT THAT COMES THROUGH, LIKELY SOME CLOUDS IN THE AREA, BUT THE LOWER MILE OF THE ATMOSPHERE IS JUST SO DRY. IF ANY SPRINKLES TRY TO SQUEEZE OUT OF THOSE CLOUDS IN THE MORNING, LIKELY GOING TO EVAPORATE BEFORE REACHING THE GROUND. AND THEN WE GET A LOT OF WARM DAYS IN THE FORECAST AND DRY DAYS, JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH RAINFALL WE’VE HAD THIS MONTH, BECAUSE IT’S NOT BEEN A LOT THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY, THREE, ONE HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH. AND THAT PUTS US ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE MONTH. AND WE’RE ONLY ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY. AND IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHY YOUR GRASS IS STILL GREEN WHEN WE HAVEN’T HAD MUCH RAINFALL THIS MONTH, IT’S BECAUSE APRIL, WE DID REALLY WELL, HAD ALMOST FOUR INCHES OF RAIN, ABOUT THREE AND THREE AND THREE QUARTERS THERE, AND THAT WAS ABOUT HALF AN INCH ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL. SO THAT’S WHY YOUR LAWN ISN’T KIND OF BROWN AND CRUSTY RIGHT NOW. SO WE’RE LOOKING OKAY, BUT WE COULD CERTAINLY USE SOME MOISTURE MOVING FORWARD. WE’RE AT 78 DEGREES. WE GOT A SOUTH WIND AT 11MPH. AND THAT SOUTH BREEZE IS ONE OF THE REASONS PAST THE 9:00 HOUR, WE’RE STILL IN THE UPPER 70S FOR THE CURRENT TIME. A FEW CLOUDS IN THE AREA. THOSE WILL LIKELY DRIFT SOUTH AS WE GO THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BY TOMORROW MORNING, THOUGH, MORE CLOUDS IN THE FORECAST. AND AGAIN, THERE’S YOUR LITTLE SHOWER CHANCE. IT MAY BE JUST SOUTH OF OMAHA, BUT AGAIN, A LOT OF THAT PROBABLY NOT REACHING THE GROUND. THE AIR IS GOING TO BE REALLY DRY. ONCE THE FRONT COMES THROUGH, THE SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT MORE. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A SUNNY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE VERY WARM. WE’LL PROBABLY STILL REACH THE LOWER 80S. HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE OVER ON WEDNESDAY. THAT WILL KEEP THE SKIES CLEAR. THE WINDS WILL BE MORE CALM ON WEDNESDAY. TUESDAY, MAYBE A BIT OF A BREEZY DAY, ESPECIALLY EARLY, AND THEN INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. BUT WEDNESDAY IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE BECAUSE CALM BREEZE, SUNSHINE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A TOP TEN DAY. IF WE CAN KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY TOUCH 80 ON WEDNESDAY. SO TUESDAY WE’RE GOING 82 FOR A HIGH. A LITTLE BREEZY DURING THE DAY, 20% CHANCE OF A SHOWER DURING THE MORNING AND IT REALLY BE SPRINKLES. IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE WE’LL SEE MUCH. AND THEN WEDNESDAY WE HAVE A LOT OF SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES RIGHT AROUND 80 DEGREES, NO REAL CHANCE OF RAIN AND A LIGHT NORTH BREEZE ABOUT 5 TO 10MPH. SO WE LOOK PRETTY GOOD HERE IN THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. WE COULD DO SOME RAIN, BUT IF YOU’RE, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO DO THINGS OUTSIDE, RAIN IS NOT GOING TO INHIBIT YOU. A SMALL CHANCE AGAIN TUESDAY MORNING THURSDAY WE’RE UP TO 84 DEGREES. WE BUMP UP TO 88 ON FRIDAY WITH MORE SUNSHINE. IT WILL BE PRETTY WINDY ON THURSDAY. AND BECAUSE THE AIR IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE DRY, WE DO HAVE SOME FIRE DANGER CONCERNS. SO BASICALLY MEANING JUST NOT A GOOD DAY TO BURN. AND I THINK DOUGLAS COUNTY IS ALREADY UNDER A BURN BAN. REGARDLESS. SO SATURDAY WE’RE UP TO 90 DEGREES, THE WARMEST DAY HERE IN OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST. FEELING LIKE SUMMER THERE. SUNDAY, MONDAY. FINALLY, MAYBE WE’LL GET SOME OF THAT WELL NEEDED MOISTURE. BUT I MEAN, I GUESS EVERYONE’S KIND OF WISHING IT WAS MEMORIAL DAY HERE BECAUSE THEN THE POOLS WOULD OPEN, RIGHT? WITH ALL THESE SUMMER-LIKE TEMPERATURES. THAT COULD BE A GOOD WAY TO COOL OFF TIME. OR IT COULD BE COOL B
