Rain and snow Thursday for Omaha and much colder

BILL’S GOT SOME BAD DAD JOKES, BUT WE DON’T TALK ANYMORE. THEY’RE JUST CRUSTY. BAD MEANS GOOD. CAN YOU USE THEM MORE THAN ONCE? OH, HE USES THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. JUST MAKES THEM WORSE. THAT’S WHAT MAKES HIM FUNNY. OH. OH, HEY, WE’RE. WAIT ANOTHER WARM DAY ON THE WAY FOR TOMORROW, BUT WE’RE WAITING FOR SOME REAL WINTER WEATHER TO ARRIVE LATER ON THIS WEEK. SO RANDBY FACTOR FOR WEDNESDAY. I SAY SEVEN, PLEASANT FOR BEING AND WORKING OUTSIDE. IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT WINDY TONIGHT. THE SHOWERS HAVE MOVED OUT OF OUR CHANNEL SEVEN VIEWING AREA AND HAVE WEAKENED A BIT. TOMORROW, ANOTHER WINDY DAY, ESPECIALLY NORTHEAST NEBRASKA AND MUCH OF IOWA WHERE THERE’S A RED FLAG WARNING. 9 A.M. TO 6 P.M. THE ISSUE. THERE’S STILL THE DRY GROUND AND WE’RE GOING TO BE WARM TEMPERATURES AND DRY AIR. STRONG WINDS. THIS IS THURSDAY. I’M JUMPING AHEAD TO BECAUSE THIS IS THE DAY WE COULD SEE SOME SNOW. INITIALLY WE COULD SEE A COUPLE OF RAIN SHOWERS. AND THEN AT LUNCHTIME, SNOW IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA AND CENTRAL NEBRASKA. AND THAT EXPANDS EASTWARD MAYBE BY EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON AND THEN INTO CENTRAL PARTS OF IOWA. MORE SNOW IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. LOOKING AT ALL THE COMPUTER MODELS, THIS IS WHAT I COME UP WITH. PROBABLY TRACE TO AN INCH FOR MOST OF THE METRO, ALTHOUGH BE CLOSE. I MEAN, JUST NORTH OF HERE COULD BE MORE AND COULD BE AS MUCH AS 3 TO 6IN OF SNOW FOR NORFORK, FOR MAYBE OTTAWA, SIOUX CITY, AND YOU KNOW, IF THE SYSTEM CHANGES TRACK AND OUR COMPUTER MODELS ARE STILL NOT IN PERFECT AGREEMENT ON THIS, WHO KNOWS, MAYBE MORE. 72 TODAY. A REALLY WARM ONE, BUT DIDN’T GET TO THE RECORD HIGHS. WE HAD SOME CLOUDS AND WE HAD THAT STRONG SOUTH WIND BLOWING. OFFICIALLY IT DIDN’T RAIN AT EPPLEY AIRFIELD THOUGH. THERE WERE SPRINKLES. LOOKS LIKE THERE’S SOME SHOWERS AND RUMBLES OF THUNDER DOWN TOWARD PLATTSMOUTH, GLENWOOD, MALVERN AND MACEDONIA IN IOWA. 61 RIGHT NOW THE WINDS ARE A LITTLE LIGHTER AT THE MOMENT. THEY’LL PICK UP AGAIN LATE TONIGHT. TOMORROW MORNING, 61 MILFORD 60 BELLEVUE 52 NORFOLK 59 HARLAN. AND THE WINDS NOW 1015 MILES AN HOUR. A LITTLE LESS THAN THAT. YOU CAN SEE THE SHOWERS HAVE MOVED OUT. SKIES ARE CLEARING HERE ACROSS MOST OF NEBRASKA, AND LOW PRESSURE A LITTLE NORTH OF US. SO THAT WILL KEEP US FAIRLY MILD AND WINDY INTO TOMORROW MORNING. COLDER AIR STAYS NORTH TOMORROW NIGHT. COLDER AIR STARTS EDGING SOUTH. SOUTH. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS INTO KANSAS, STRENGTHENS AS IT COMES EASTWARD. AND WE’LL SEE IF WE GET INTO THE SNOW. THIS COMPUTER MODEL HAS THE SNOW FARTHER SOUTH AND ACTUALLY PRODUCES A BIT MORE FOR THE OMAHA METRO. BUT OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WITH CLEARING SKIES, TEMPERATURES STAY ABOVE FREEZING. TOMORROW, A MILD DAY AGAIN. SO A LOW OF 42 TONIGHT AND THEN TOMORROW STARTING OFF IN THE 40S BUT TOPPING OUT IN THE 60S AS WE’LL SEE SOME INCREASE IN THE CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON. AGAIN, KIND OF WINDY IN THE MORNING AND INTO MIDDAY. AND THEN THURSDAY IMPACT WEATHER, POSSIBLY SOME RAIN MIXING WITH CHANGING TO SNOW AND FALLING TEMPERATURES AS THE WINDS PICK UP FROM THE NORTH AND WE DROP DOWN INTO THE TEENS ON FRIDAY MORNING AND THEN JUST LOW TO MID 30S FOR HIGHS BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. AFTER AN INCREDIBLE STRETCH OF WARM WEATHER, A COLD WEEKEND IS ON THE WAY. ALTHOU
