A TOP DOWN TYPE WEATHER TODAY. HONESTLY FOR FEBRUARY. OH MY GOODNESS FOR SURE. I MEAN YOU DON’T GET A LOT OF DAYS LIKE THIS IN FEBRUARY. AND JUST IMAGINE WE’RE ABOUT TEN DEGREES WARMER TOMORROW. WHAT THAT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU STEP OUTSIDE, WE WILL HAVE MORE OF A BREEZE TOMORROW. BUT HEY, THAT’S NOT GOING TO, I THINK, STOP A LOT OF US FROM GETTING OUTSIDE AND ENJOYING THE NICE WEATHER. I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE LAST FIVE SUPER BOWL SUNDAYS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK BACK, YOU DON’T REALLY THINK OF TEMPERATURES THIS WARM IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. SO LAST SUPER BOWL, WHEN THE CHIEFS WERE TAKING ON PHILLY, THAT WAS 30 DEGREES. WAS THE HIGH TEMPERATURE 40 DEGREES IN 2024. AND WE KIND OF WARM UP A LITTLE MORE FOR 2023 WHERE WE’RE NEAR 50 DEGREES AND THEN RIGHT BACK DOWN. IF YOU REMEMBER 2021, THAT WAS TAMPA BAY FACING THE CHIEFS. WHERE THE CHIEFS LOST FOR THAT GAME WAS IN TAMPA BAY. FIVE DEGREES WAS THE HIGH TEMPERATURE. SO THINK BACK TO FIVE DEGREES. AND WHAT WAS THAT 2021. AND NOW ALL THE WAY HERE WHERE WE’RE IN THE UPPER 50S FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES. SO WHAT A TERRIFIC DAY TO HAVE THE SUPER BOWL SUNDAY. THERE IS A FLOOD. WATCH OUT FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. THAT’S UNTIL 10 P.M. TOMORROW. AREAS ALONG THE PLATTE, ELKHORN AND LOUP RIVER. IT’S FOR ICE JAMS BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN SO WARM RECENTLY AND WE WERE SO COLD FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY AT LEAST TO FINISH OFF THE MONTH, ANY THAT ICE CAN NOW BREAK UP WITH THESE UNUSUALLY WARM TEMPERATURES, THERE’S THE SUNSET FOR US LOOKING AT OUR METHODIST WOMEN SKYCAM TOWARDS THE WEST 57 DEGREES. THE BREEZE IS VERY LIGHT, WHICH IS MAKING IT FEEL SO COMFORTABLE OUTSIDE. IF YOU CAN SOAK IN THESE LAST FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN. 62 IN LINCOLN, 55 BEATRICE 62 IN COLUMBUS, BUT EAST OF A STATIONARY BOUNDARY. TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 40S, THOUGH FOR A LOT OF IOWA. MASON CITY UP THERE 35 DEGREES. LOOK AT ALL THE WARMTH IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA THOUGH. HAYES IS AT 6867 FOR HASTINGS, AND THAT WARM AIR IS GOING TO CONTINUE MOVING OUR DIRECTION. ONCE THAT STATIONARY BOUNDARY BECOMES A WARM FRONT STARTS LIFTING MORE TO THE EAST. SO THAT’S WHEN WE REALLY FEEL THE WARM AIR. ALL RIGHT. LET’S TIME OUT MONDAY FOR YOU. WE COULD HAVE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND EARLY. AND IF THERE’S ANYTHING THAT KEEPS US FROM GETTING INTO THE UPPER 60S TOMORROW, I THINK IT MAY BE THE CLOUD COVER. WE’LL HAVE THAT SOUTHWEST BREEZE, AND THAT SHOULD WARM US UP ALONG WITH A GOOD BIT OF SUNSHINE. THE FRONT WILL COME THROUGH LATER THAT EVENING AND THAT WILL BRING OUR TEMPERATURES DOWN MORE SO FOR TUESDAY, BUT IT WON’T BE A TREMENDOUS COOL DOWN. YOU’LL SEE MORE OF THAT IN THE SEVEN-DAY TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. WE’LL HOLD ON TO THE 50S FOR A BIT LONGER EVENTUALLY. WE’RE 40S AROUND 8:00, NINE, 10:00. WE’RE IN THE 30S, SO IT’S A PRETTY QUICK COOLDOWN THIS EVENING BECAUSE THE SKIES ARE MOSTLY CLEAR AND THE AIR IS FAIRLY DRY 30 DEGREES. THE LOW TEMPERATURE FOR TONIGHT, SOME 20S THOUGH FOR CENTRAL WESTERN IOWA, I THINK MOST OF US DO GET BELOW THE FREEZING MARK. A LOOK AT MONDAY AFTERNOON. THAT IS JUST TREMENDOUS WARMTH, RECORD BREAKING WARMTH. IF WE CAN GET TEMPERATURES IN THE MID OR UPPER 60S, IT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL HAVE THAT. AND THEN IN EXTREME SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA, AND I THINK A LOT OF NEBRASKA WILL SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S FOR TOMORROW. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SETUPS WHERE YOU HAVE KIND OF A LOT OF WARM AIR ALOFT AT AROUND, YOU KNOW, 2000FT. AND TO GET THAT TO MIX DOWN TO THE GROUND, YOU NEED THE WIND MOVING AT 2000FT AND GROUND LEVEL IN THE SAME DIRECTION. AND WE’LL HAVE THAT TOMORROW WITH A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY BREEZE AND THE SUNSHINE. SO WE THINK TEMPERATURES MAY MAKE A RUN AT 70 FOR TOMORROW FOR MANY LOCATIONS IN THE VIEWING AREA. ONCE THE FRONT COMES THROUGH, THAT WILL DROP TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER 50S ON TUESDAY. BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT TEMPERATURE EITHER. AND WE STAY THAT WAY FOR A LOT OF THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. BEST RAIN CHANCE RIGHT NOW IS ON THURSDAY, BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY DRY FOR THE MOST PART, SO IT’
