Record breaking warmth ahead for Monday afternoon
Record breaking warmth
METEOROLOGIST LUKE VICKERY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. WELL, IF THERE’S ANY DAY YOU WANT TO GET OUTSIDE IN THIS SEVEN DAY FORECAST. I MEAN, YOU GOT A GOOD ARGUMENT TODAY. MAY BE THE PICK DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE RECORD BREAKING HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR US. OMAHA WE’RE FORECASTING 71. THAT WOULD CRUSH THE RECORD OF 63 SET BACK IN 1954. LINCOLN THE RECORD IS 68, ALONG WITH NORFOLK. WE THINK BOTH THOSE LOCATIONS GET INTO MAYBE THE MID 70S OR LOWER 70S FOR TODAY. AND BECAUSE OF THESE WARM TEMPERATURES, THAT’S WHY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS THIS FLOOD. WATCH OUT FOR AREAS ALONG THE PLATTE, ELKHORN AND LOUP RIVERS THAT WILL GO UNTIL 10:00 ON MONDAY, AND MAYBE IT COULD GET EXTENDED. THE THING THAT’S HAPPENING IS ANY OF THE ICE THAT BUILDS UP LATE JANUARY, THE WARMING TEMPERATURES ARE NOW BREAKING UP THAT ICE. SO WHEN IT FLOWS DOWN THE RIVER, IT CAN HIT A VULNERABLE SPOT, MAYBE AROUND A BEND, AND THEN KIND OF CREATE A DAM. AND THAT COULD CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING. SO WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FOR YOU. THERE’S A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. THIS IS CROWN POINT SKYCAM. LOOK HOW DRY. VINTON GOLF COURSE IS. ONE OF THE REASONS WE’RE WARMING UP SO MUCH IS BECAUSE THE GROUND IS A BIT DRY, AND SO IS THE AIR. THE CLOUDS OVERHEAD, THOUGH, IS SOMETHING THAT COULD KEEP TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT COOLER FOR TODAY. 54 DEGREES THE SOUTH BREEZE AT NINE MILES PER HOUR. ONCE THAT BREEZE FEELS A LITTLE MORE THE SOUTHWEST THAT MAYBE WHEN WE START WARMING UP A LITTLE MORE SO IT COULD BECOME MORE BREEZY THIS AFTERNOON. 59 LINCOLN, 59, IN FREMONT. OMAHA’S AT 54. A LOT OF UPPER 50S, EVEN IN CENTRAL WESTERN IOWA. I THINK WE’RE ALL GETTING INTO AT LEAST THE 60S THIS AFTERNOON, 70 MAYBE A LITTLE BIT DEBATABLE, BUT WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD SHOT, ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN NEBRASKA, TO SEE A LOT OF LOWER 70S ON THE MAP. WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THESE CLOUDS TO CLEAR OUT A LITTLE MORE THAT ARE OVERHEAD. RIGHT NOW. THEY’RE JUST THE MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS THAT AREN’T SUPER THICK. BUT I DO THINK LATER ON THIS EVENING, MORE SO LATE AFTERNOON, WE’LL SAY WATCH HOW THE CLOUDS CLEAR OUT A LITTLE MORE. THAT’S RIGHT BEFORE THE FRONT COMES THROUGH. WE’LL HAVE A SOUTHWEST WIND PICK UP A LITTLE MORE, AND I THINK MAYBE AROUND 4 OR 5:00. WE GOT A REAL GOOD POSSIBILITY OF TOUCHING THE 70 DEGREE MARK. ONCE THE FRONT COMES THROUGH, THE WIND WILL SWITCH AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST. A FEW CLOUDS WILL BE AROUND IN THE MORNING. BY THE AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY, HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE OVER. THAT WILL CLEAR OUT THE SKIES. IT WILL STILL BE A MILD DAY, BUT BECAUSE THAT FRONT IS COMING THROUGH, THAT WILL DROP TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE LOWER 50S FOR TUESDAY. SO NOT QUITE AS NICE AS YOUR MONDAY AFTERNOON. LOOK AT THIS. WE THINK LOWER 70S WILL GET A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUN. WE WILL DROP BACK INTO THE 50S AND 40S BY NINE. 10:00 TONIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURE THOUGH 71 AND A LOT OF AREAS AGAIN IN EXTREME SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. GOOD CHANCE OF LOW AND MID 70S. THAT WOULD BE RECORD HIGHS FOR MANY OF OUR LOCATIONS. WE WILL BOTTOM OFF AT ABOUT 33 DEGREES. THE LOW TEMPERATURE FOR TONIGHT INTO THE AFTERNOON THERE. THAT’S YOUR TUESDAY FORECAST AGAIN. THAT’S WHEN THE FRONT COMES THROUGH. SO WE WILL COOL OFF A LITTLE BIT. BUT THAT’S STILL VERY MILD. REMEMBER WE’RE IN FEBRUARY AND 52 DEGREES FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE IS STILL WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. NORMAL WOULD BE ABOUT 37 DEGREES. SO I’M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MATH IS THERE 30 DEGREES, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOVE NORMAL FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY AND TOMORROW, MAYBE MORE SO. ABOUT 15 DEGREES WARMER THAN NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND WE KEEP WARM TEMPERATURES ALL THE WAY THROUGH VALENTINE’S DAY AND BEYOND. AND THE BEST RAIN CHANCES RIGHT NOW MAY LIE ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, BUT THOSE ARE EVEN REALLY LOW. SO SAMANTHA LOOKS LIKE A DRY SEVEN DAY FORECAST, BUT A WARM SEVEN-DAY FORECAST. WHAT IS GOING ON? IT’S FEBRUARY AND WE HAVE PATIO WEATHER. THIS IS PERFECT WEATHER. GOING OUT TO WALK EAT OUTSIDE.
