Storm chances later this week in Omaha with warmer weather coming

OMAHA’S CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BILL RANBY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. RANDI FACTOR, TIME FOR THIS EVENING. I SAY IT’S A FIVE. IT’S TOLERABLE OUT THERE. IT’S A LITTLE CLOUDY. IT’S A LITTLE DAMP. IT’S A LITTLE CHILLY, BUT THERE’S NOTHING MUCH THERE ON DEUEL POLL SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR. I ACTUALLY THINK THURSDAY NIGHT IS THE MOST LIKELY TIME THAT WE’LL SEE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER, MAYBE SOME SMALL HAIL FROM A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS US IN A MARGINAL RISK FOR THAT TIME FRAME. THAT’S THURSDAY NIGHT, FRIDAY, A LARGER WHAT’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IS CENTERED EAST OF US. WE’RE SORT OF ON THE EDGE. SO THE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES IS REALLY CRITICAL TO OUR CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. ON FRIDAY, THE VERY LATEST EUROPEAN COMPUTER MODEL IN THE NORTH AMERICAN MESOSCALE MODELS SAY THAT THE STORMS ARE GOING TO BE EAST OF THE OMAHA AREA AND EAST OF OUR VIEWING AREA, BUT THE GFS, THE AMERICAN COMPUTER MODEL, SAYS WE HAVE STILL A CHANCE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HERE TODAY. CLOUD COVER REALLY HELD TEMPERATURES DOWN 207 INCH OF MOISTURE. A LITTLE DRIZZLE, A LITTLE MIST, SPRINKLES LAST NIGHT. THAT’S OUR CAMERA DOWN. PAPILLION SARPY COUNTY. CLOUDY, 42 DEGREES WITH A NORTH BREEZE AT EIGHT MILES PER HOUR. IT’S 43 IN MILFORD, 44 IN BELLEVUE, 47 IN LINCOLN AND 49 IN BEATRICE, BUT JUST 39 IN DENISON. CARROLL AND HARLAN. AND THAT BREEZE IS COMING IN FROM THE NORTHEAST, SO THAT CHILLY AIR HAS WORKED ITS WAY BACK INTO THE OMAHA METRO. RATHER THAN GETTING INTO THE UPPER 40S TODAY. ALL RIGHT. NO PRECIPITATION RIGHT NOW. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF LOW CLOUD COVER. SEE THE SPRINKLES ALOFT OVER SOUTH CENTRAL PARTS OF IOWA? SO ONE LITTLE DISTURBANCE IS ACTUALLY EDGING OUT OF THE AREA. NOW THERE’S ONE OVER THE ROCKIES THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT’S GOING TO SAG TO THE SOUTH. AND THEN THE NEXT SYSTEM THAT WE’RE WATCHING IS STILL OVER THE PACIFIC. AND THAT’S THE ONE THAT GIVES US THE THUNDERSTORM CHANCE FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. SO IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE FOR THAT TO GET GOING HERE. WE THINK THE CLOUDS LINGER TONIGHT. CLOUDS LINGER TOMORROW. AND MAYBE AREAS WEST GET A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING TOMORROW NIGHT. PERHAPS WE’LL SEE SOME CLEARING, A COUPLE OF SPOTTY SHOWERS. AND THEN THURSDAY IS REALLY THE DAY WE LOOK FOR A LITTLE MORE SUNSHINE. AND THEN THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT WE’RE WATCHING FOR THE STORM CHANCES AS WE GET INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. TONIGHT, CLOUDY, A LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE, 37 DEGREES FOR THE LOW TEMPERATURES. SO NOT A BIG DROP FROM WHERE RIGHT NOW. TOMORROW. STILL KIND OF CLOUDY AND A LITTLE DREARY AND MAYBE 52 FOR THE HIGH 67 ON THURSDAY. WE HAVE US AN IMPACT DAY BECAUSE THERE IS THAT LIKELIHOOD OF SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT FRIDAY WE HAVE AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY BECAUSE IT’S REALLY UNCLEAR IF THE STORMS THAT ARE GOING TO FORM FROM THIS STORM SYSTEM ARE RIGHT OVER US OR EAST OF US, INTO IOWA AND ALSO MISSOURI. AND THEN A NICE STRETCH OF WEATHER COMING FOR SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MOND
