Stormy in and around the Omaha metro Saturday night

YES. SO WE SHOULD BE GETTING SOME RAIN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. WE’RE NOT EXPECTING QUITE AS HEAVY RAIN HERE IN THE METRO AS SOME OF OUR OTHER VIEWING AREA COUNTIES. WE HAVE A FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. SO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE THINKS WE COULD GET SOME PRETTY HEFTY RAIN IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. AND THEY’VE JUST INCLUDED SOME PORTIONS NORTH OF I 80 SINCE YESTERDAY. BUT AGAIN HERE IN THE METRO, HOPEFULLY GETTING SPARED THE WORST OF IT. HERE’S SOME RAIN WE’VE ALREADY PICKED UP 0.54 OUT IN YORK AND A COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES STILL SEEING STUFF. BUT HERE IS OUR RADAR AND SATELLITE LOOP. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THIS LOOKS LIKE, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE MORE OMINOUS THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. THIS IS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING, BUT SHOULDN’T MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE METRO. WHAT WE’RE REALLY WATCHING IS DOWN HERE IN BEATRICE. THAT IS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IN EFFECT FOR GAGE COUNTY UNTIL 645. AND THAT’S REALLY JUST FOR THAT HAIL THAT THEY’RE SEEING IN THE THUNDERSTORM, ABOUT AN INCH. SO QUARTER SIZED HAIL BASICALLY, AND THEN 60 MILE PER HOUR WINDS, WHICH IS USUALLY THE TAG THEY PUT ALONG WITH IT. BUT HERE IN THE METRO, REALLY JUST MORE RAINY, MAYBE HERE, A LITTLE BIT OF THUNDER OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, SEE A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHTNING. BUT FOR THE MOST PART JUST SOME RAIN COOLED AIR, MAKING IT REALLY DIFFICULT FOR ANY SEVERE STORMS TO REALLY POP UP IN OUR AREA. SO, YOU KNOW, 60S FOR THE MOST PART, THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THAT RAIN ALREADY AND NOT MUCH RAMPING UP BECAUSE OF IT. SO WE ARE STILL IN AN ENHANCED RISK IN THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF OUR VIEWING AREA. SLIGHT RISK FOR THE MOST PART NEAR LINCOLN AND KIND OF LIKE SOUTH OF I-80. BUT HERE IN THE METRO, WE SHOULD BE SPARED THE WORST OF IT, LIKE I SAID. BUT TOMORROW, LOOKING AT THAT MARGINAL RISK FOR STORMS IN THE MORNING AND THEN IN THE EVENING COULD GET KIND OF CLIPPED BY LINCOLN FOR JUST SOME AFTERNOON OR EVENING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES, BUT SHOULD HAVE SOME DRY TIME IN THERE FOR YOUR FATHER’S DAY THIS YEAR, 12 HOUR FORECAST LOOKS A LOT MORE OMINOUS THAN IT PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE. IT’S GOT A LOT OF IMPACT, BUT JUST THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT, YOU KNOW, YOU’LL PROBABLY MOSTLY BE SLEEPING DURING THIS TIME. BUT IF YOU HAVE A HARD TIME SLEEPING DURING THE THUNDERSTORMS, MAYBE PUT IN SOME HEADPHONES FOR TONIGHT BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HEAR JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THUNDER THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. BUT HERE’S A LOOK AT STORM PREDICTOR. WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE WALKING YOU THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. 11 P.M. LOOKS LIKE WE’LL KIND OF BE IN THE BULK OF IT. THAT’S GOING TO BE THE START. AND THEN ROLLING THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT NORFOLK COULD SEE A LOT OF RAIN MOVING PRETTY SLOWLY. COLUMBUS COULD SEE A LOT OF RAIN YORK COULD SEE A LOT OF RAIN. AND THEN WE’RE CLEARING OUT BY 8 A.M. SUNDAY. STILL A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN IN THE METRO AREA, BUT CLEARING OUT YOUR FATHER’S DAY PLANS ARE A GO. BY THE TIME WE HIT THE AFTERNOON, SO THAT’S GOOD NEWS. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DRY TIME IN THERE. AND THEN WE SEE THOSE CHANCES FOR RAIN POP UP AGAIN, RAIN AND STORMS. BUT THAT’S GOING TO KIND OF CLIP MORE. SO LINCOLN. AND YOU KNOW, WE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT HERE IN THE METRO, BUT AGAIN, THAT’S AFTER SUNDOWN. SO YOU’LL HAVE QUITE A BIT OF TIME TO GET YOUR FATHER’S DAY PLANS IN. AND BY MONDAY MORNING, SMOOTH SAILING, WE’RE WAKING UP RELATIVELY DRY. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE RAINFALL TOTALS YOU COULD GET IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. OVER 2.89IN IN PLATTSMOUTH, 2.67 IN YORK. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT’S WHAT WE’RE KIND OF LOOKING AT HERE. AND THAT’S WHY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOES HAVE US IN THAT FLOOD WATCH. COULD SEE SOME POTENTIALLY LOCALIZED HEAVIER AMOUNTS. BUT REALLY, I MEAN, JUST THAT RAINFALL GOING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND THEN SMOOTH SAILING GOING INTO THE NEXT WEEK WILL BE REWARDED ON THE BACK END, JUST RELATIVELY LOW RAIN CHANCES AND BEAUTIFUL TEMPERATURES. MAKE SURE TO GET OUTDOORS. GOODNESS, THAT WEEK AHEAD. LOOKS AMAZING TO GET OUT. LOOKS FANTASTIC. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT’
