Showers and storms starting Wednesday afternoon in Omaha

S&P 500 JUMPED 184. ALL RIGHT WE’D LIKE TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS IN THE FORM OF RAIN TOTALS. OH MY GOODNESS. WE WE NEED IT SO BADLY. YOU KNOW WE KIND OF HAD A DRY WINTER THERE. DRY START TO SPRING SO FAR. AND WE HAVEN’T HAD A LOT OF GLOOMY DAYS. SO WE’LL TAKE ADVANTAGE ONE, MAYBE SIT INSIDE, DRINK SOME HOT CHOCOLATE, READ A BOOK, MAYBE TAKE A NAP THIS AFTERNOON. ALL THINGS THAT ARE GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE WEATHER LIKE THIS. LET’S START WITH THE 24 HOUR RAINFALL TOTALS. WE GOT A LITTLE RAIN OVERNIGHT. MORE THAN A LITTLE RAIN. YOU CAN STAY FOR NEBRASKA CITY. THEY ALMOST GOT A HALF AN INCH FALLS CITY GOT ALMOST A QUARTER OF AN INCH. A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THAT IN MARYVILLE. NOW, NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT. WE NEED THIS MOISTURE. LET’S LOOK AT THE ALMANAC PRECIPITATION. THIS IS JUST TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION LIKE OUR YEAR TO DATE RAINFALL, WE’RE BEHIND BY ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF MONTH TO DATE. WE’RE BEHIND BY ABOUT AN INCH. AGAIN, THAT’S NOT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ANYTHING BEFORE JANUARY 1ST. SO LATE LAST YEAR WHEN WE DIDN’T GET A LOT OF MOISTURE IN THE FORM OF SNOWFALL, THERE’S A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. THIS IS EMBASSY SUITES DOWNTOWN. I MEAN, IT’S QUIET. IT’S EARLY. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YESTERDAY MORNING AT THIS TIME AND RIGHT NOW, TEMPERATURES ARE COLDER 35 DEGREES OUT THE DOOR. WE HAVE A NORTH WIND AT NINE MILES PER HOUR. SO A LITTLE BIT OF A WIND CHILL WITH US TO 42 BEATRICE 39 NEBRASKA CITY 34 IN DENISON. WE DO HAVE A COUPLE SPOTS BELOW FREEZING NORFOLK AND TEKAMAH, BOTH AT 31 DEGREES. HOPEFULLY YOU’RE NOT PUTTING THOSE GARDENS YET. AND SUNDAY MORNING, EASTER SUNDAY COULD BE ANOTHER DAY BELOW FREEZING. A COUPLE LIGHT SHOWERS STILL GOING ON THERE. PRETTY MUCH DONE NOW NEAR FALLS CITY AND MARYVILLE, SO I DON’T ANTICIPATE ANY MORE. IF YOU LIVE IN THAT AREA OF NORTHWEST MISSOURI. AS FOR RAIN CHANCES MOVING THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY, THE MORNING WE’RE PROBABLY FINE. YOU COULD GET A COUPLE SPRINKLES THE LUNCH HOUR. WE’RE MID 40S, LOWER 50S. BY THE AFTERNOON WE’RE GOING IMPACT WEATHER AFTER 4:00 AS RAIN WILL INCREASE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN COVERAGE. AND AS FOR HIGHS TODAY WE’RE THINKING ABOUT LOWER 50S. AND THE CLOUDS WILL BE SO THICK THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY BE STUCK IN THE UPPER 40S FOR A PORTION OF THE AFTERNOON AS WELL. LET’S TIME OUT YOUR WEDNESDAY FOR YOU HERE. THE CLOUDS INCREASING THROUGH THE DAY. AGAIN, A SPRINKLE IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AROUND THE LUNCH HOUR OR EVEN EARLIER. AND THEN IT INCREASES A LITTLE MORE IN COVERAGE. STILL SOMEWHAT SPOTTY AFTER 4:00 TODAY. AND THEN WE COULD EVEN GET A LULL KIND OF OVERNIGHT WHERE IT’S REALLY SPOTTY. AND THEN HERE’S WHERE WE PICK UP ON THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY MORNING. AND DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU GET A COUPLE CLAPS OF THUNDER IN THERE THAT COULD WAKE YOU UP OVERNIGHT. BUT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS PRETTY LOW WITH THIS. NOW THIS HERE YOU JUST SAW SKIRT OFF STARTING KIND OF MAYBE IN ATLANTIC AND EASTWARD. THAT HAS A LOW SEVERE RISK. THE MARGINAL RISK FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER. SO JUST A HEADS UP CARROLL DOWN THROUGH MARYVILLE AND EASTWARD. IT’S POSSIBLE, BUT IT’S UNLIKELY YOU GET A STRONGER SEVERE STORM. 57 THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR TOMORROW. NOTICE WARMER DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. MARYVILLE 65. NORFOLK AT 45. GET USED TO THAT SAME THING ON FRIDAY AS WELL. THIS TIME FRIDAY’S RAIN CHANCES COUPLE SPOTTY SPRINKLES MAYBE THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS COULD FORM ALONG AND EAST OF THE MISSOURI RIVER. SOME OF THOSE COULD BE ON THE STRONGER SIDE. THEY’D BE BRIEF IF WE DO SEE THEM IN OMAHA, THE SEVERE WEATHER RISK IS MORE INTO IOWA AND INTO CENTRAL IOWA. EVEN MORE AND AGAIN, TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY. LOOK AT THAT. THE WARM SIDE OF THE SYSTEM. MARYVILLE, FALLS CITY 6355 IN OMAHA NORFOLK. YOU COULD BE STUCK IN THE UPPER 30S OUTSIDE. SO WE GOT THREE IMPACT WEATHER DAYS RIGHT BACK TO BACK TO BACK WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY. AND BOY DO WE NEED THE MOISTURE. SO WE’RE GOING TO TAKE THIS. WE’RE GOING TO LOOK FORWARD TO THE RAIN. EVEN THOUGH IT MAY CREATE KIND OF CRUDDY CONDITIONS TO BE OUTSIDE HERE THESE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. SATURDAY, SUNDAY TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT COOLER. MAKE SURE YOU’RE BUNDLED UP EARLY SUNDAY MORNING FOR AN EASTER EGG HUNT. IF YOU WANT TO TRACK THE TEMPERATURES, THE RAIN CHANCES, THERE’S A LOT IN FORECAST. GET THAT KETV MOBILE APP AND HAVE IT HANDY FOR YOU THESE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. A L
