Storm chance Friday near & east of Omaha, but just cloudy and chilly this evening

ON ONTO SKIN OR IN THEIR MOUTHS. NOW, FROM OMAHA’S WEATHER LEADER, OMAHA’S CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BILL RANDBY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST IT IS RANDY FACTOR TIME FOR THIS EVENING. IF YOU’VE GOT PLANS TO BE WORK, PLAY OUTSIDE. I SAY FIVE TOLERABLE. IT’S CHILLY, BREEZE BLOWING, BUT IT IS DRY HERE NOW. SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL TODAY ACROSS THE AREA. MANY SPOTS HAD OVER AN INCH. IF YOU JUST LOOK AT THE COLOR CODING ON THE MAP, YOU GET INTO THAT PURPLE. A LOT OF THOSE LOCATIONS HAD AN INCH AND A HALF OR TWO INCHES, AND HAD A LOT OF FOLKS EMAIL IN THAT. THEY HAD TWO, TWO AND A HALF IN WEST OMAHA. AND CERTAINLY THAT IS TRUE. IT’S JUST DOESN’T ALWAYS FALL THAT WAY AT THE AIRPORT. PRETTY QUIET RIGHT NOW ON DEUEL POLK SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR. ANY RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IS FARTHER OVER INTO EASTERN IOWA FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AND NIGHT TONIGHT. BUT TOMORROW AGAIN, BACK INTO WESTERN IOWA WITH SOME RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. LET’S JUMP THROUGH THE COMPUTER MODELS HERE. I DON’T THINK IT WILL HAPPEN THIS QUICKLY. WE’LL PROBABLY STILL HAVE CLOUDS EARLY THIS EVENING, BUT CLOUDS ARE GOING TO BREAK UP SOMEWHAT. TEMPERATURES STAY IN THE 40S FOR THE EVENING. 30S LATER TONIGHT, CLOUDS MOVE BACK IN TOMORROW PRETTY QUICKLY, AND THEN BY MID-MORNING, SHOWERS START BREAKING OUT AND YOU SEE THE CHILLY TEMPERATURES. IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME WARMING TO GET SEVERE STORMS. SO THAT’S MARYVILLE. THAT’S FALLS CITY. WE’LL BE WATCHING THOSE AREAS. 130 SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE METRO. 330 BIG STORMS SOUTH OF DES MOINES. BUT THESE HERE POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE SOME HAIL OR SOME WIND AS THEY TRACK TOWARD RED OAK AND ATLANTIC AND WINTERSET AND EVENTUALLY TOWARD THE DES MOINES AREA. HERE WILL BE KIND OF THE BACK EDGE OF THAT 46 AND 43 TEMPERATURES BARELY BUDGING TODAY, WHICH IS WHAT YOU HAVE WHEN YOU GET CLOUDS AND RAIN IN THE MORNING, THEN A BREEZE BLOWING AND UNDER AN INCH OF EPPLEY AIRFIELD. BUT YOU MAY HAVE HAD MORE THAN THAT. OH, I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT. THAT’S OUR FLAG DOWN AT THE OMAHA RIVERFRONT, BLOWING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST AT 14 MILES AN HOUR, 46 DEGREES. CURRENT TEMPERATURE 46 MILFORD 44 IN BLAIR, 42 IN TEKAMAH. IT’S NOT REALLY WARM ANYWHERE, AND THAT’S WHY THE STORMS ARE FARTHER OFF TO THE EAST. ALREADY AS LOW PRESSURE HAS MOVED AWAY, THAT NORTHWEST BREEZE WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT WITH TIME TONIGHT. AGAIN, NOTHING OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT. THE STORMS ARE RAGING. IT LOOKS LIKE THE STORM IS NOW NOT WARNED FOR A TORNADO INTO IOWA CITY, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE ARC OF THUNDERSTORMS THERE FOR US. COLDER AIR COMES IN TONIGHT AND THEN TOMORROW WE GO THROUGH IT AGAIN. ANOTHER CHANCE OF SOME THUNDERSTORMS JUST TO THE EAST OF THE OMAHA METRO 37. THE LOW TONIGHT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WINDS WILL GET LIGHTER, CHILLY TOMORROW MORNING. CLOUDY AND COLD, BUT SOME SHOWERS BY MIDDAY. AND THEN WE’RE REALLY KIND OF WATCHING OVER INTO IOWA OVER THUNDERSTORMS. WE’LL PROBABLY STAY IN THE 40S, MAYBE SNEAK UP TO 50, PROBABLY STAY IN THE 40S ON SATURDAY, WINDY EASTER SUNDAY MORNING, LIKELY BELOW FREEZING. NOW. LOOKS LIKE WE’LL KEEP SOME CLOUDS AND PRETTY CHILLY TEMPERATURES INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY, WHERE MAYBE ANOTHER FREEZE WILL OCCUR. AND THEN WINDY AND A LOT WARME
