Staying cloudy Wednesday, storms possible into Friday in Omaha area

SO HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN PLAN FOR RIGHT NOW. THE LATEST THINKING WE’VE GOT STORMS. POSSIBLE FIRST ROUND WOULD BE THURSDAY NIGHT, MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. SCATTERED STORMS, SOME HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL, POSSIBLY SOME SMALL HAIL, BUT A LOWER SEVERE RISK. ROUND TWO. LATER FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH. LIKELY GOING TO SEE SOME STRONGER STORMS THROUGH PARTS OF THE AREA. RIGHT NOW IT’S LOOKING LIKE BETTER SEVERE CHANCES SOUTH AND EAST OF THE METRO AREA, AND THE SECOND ROUND WILL REALLY BE DEPENDENT ON HOW LONG THAT FIRST ROUND LINGERS. AND IF WE CAN GET ENOUGH TIME TO RECHARGE THE ATMOSPHERE. SO ALREADY, STORM PREDICTION CENTER FOR THURSDAY NIGHT EARLY FRIDAY’S ROUND HAS THAT MARGINAL RISK ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA HERE IN GREEN. SO MAYBE 1 OR 2 COULD PRODUCE UP TO ONE INCH HAIL. HERE’S FRIDAY AFTERNOON EVENING SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK ENHANCED ZONE MARYVILLE, FALLS CITY DOWN TOWARDS SAINT JOE, KANSAS CITY. THIS IS LOOKING LIKE THE BETTER AREA TO SEE SEVERE ACTIVITY AS WE HEAD LATER IN THE DAY. ALL MODES SEVERE WEATHER IN PLAY, HAIL, WIND AND POSSIBLE TORNADOES DOWN HERE. HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO, YOU CAN SEE THE MARGINAL SLIGHT RISK. SO WE’RE STILL SEEING IF WE’LL GET STORMS TO DEVELOP NEAR OR JUST WEST OF THE METRO, OR IF THEY ALL FIRE UP MORE TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. NOW, IF WE DO GET ANY STRONGER STORMS HERE LATER FRIDAY IN THE METRO AREA, MORE LIKELY BE WITH HAIL UP TO AN INCH AND 50 TO 70 MILE PER HOUR WIND THREAT. SO STILL CONDITIONAL HERE IN THE METRO WHERE THEY’LL FIRE OFF. STILL SOME SOLUTIONS. KEEP IT ALL SOUTHEAST LATER IN THE DAY, SO WE’LL BE WATCHING, BUT JUST KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY FRIDAY EVENING PLANS. HAVE TO STAY WEATHER AWARE TODAY. ANOTHER CLOUDY DAY. 12 HOUR FORECAST. CLOUDS AROUND ALL DAY. MAYBE A BIT OF DRIZZLE OR STRAY SHOWER. MOST OF US STAYING DRY, BUT YOU CAN SEE TEMPERATURES 30 IN THE MORNING ONLY INTO THE MID AND UPPER 40S BY THE END OF THE DAY, BECAUSE THE CLOUD COVER WELL, IT’S GOING TO STICK AROUND LIKE IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AND RIGHT NOW THAT’S KEEPING THOSE TEMPERATURES FROM REALLY FALLING MUCH UPPER 30S, LOW 40S TO START THE DAY RIGHT NOW AT 40 IN OMAHA, A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHY FOG IN AREAS. YOU CAN SEE SOME LOWER VISIBILITY TOWARD. LINCOLN YORK NEBRASKA CITY, ALSO UP TOWARD CARROLL, IOWA. RIGHT NOW, SIX MILE VISIBILITY HERE IN OMAHA. SO VISIBILITY DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT STILL LOOKING GOOD AS WE LOOK OVER DOWNTOWN OMAHA, 40 DEGREES DEW POINT IN THE UPPER 30S WITH JUST A LIGHT BREEZE IN THE BREEZE. STAY FAIRLY LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AS YOU CAN SEE. STORM PREDICTOR WITH THE CLOUDS REALLY HOLDING TEMPERATURES WON’T BUDGE MUCH. LOW TO MID 40S BY NOON AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. MAYBE A BIT OF DRIZZLE OR STRAY SHOWER, MOST OF US HANGING AROUND THE MID TO UPPER 40S NOW. THURSDAY, LOOKING LIKE THE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO TRY AND HANG ON A LITTLE LONGER, ESPECIALLY INTO THE MORNING. SO STARTING OFF CLOUDY BUT SHOULD GET SOME LATE DAY SUNSHINE. HELP GET THOSE TEMPERATURES BACK UP CLOSER TO 60 DEGREES. AND THEN AS WE HEAD THURSDAY NIGHT, WE’LL SEE BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME MORE OF THOSE STORMS TO POP UP WITH SOME HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. AGAIN, CAN’T RULE OUT A FEW THAT COULD PRODUCE SOME HAIL. SO WE’VE GOT AROUND THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN POSSIBILITY OF SOME LATER DAY FRIDAY STORMS AS A FRONT MOVES THROUGH THAT WILL SEND THOSE TEMPERATURES DOWN SATURDAY BEFORE THEY BOUNCE RIGH
