SEVEN. A FUN WAY TO START YOUR SATURDAY. THANKS, IZZY AND LUKE ANYBODY HAVE ANY PLANS THIS EVENING? THEY’RE GOING TO POSSIBLY BE IMPACTED BY SOME STORMS WE MIGHT SEE. YEAH, YOU GOT TO FEEL FOR THE FOLKS OUT THE ZAC BROWN CONCERT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT MAY BE DELAYED. AND THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROBABLY MOVE INTO THAT AREA NEAR LINCOLN. RELATIVELY SHORTLY. SO LET’S GIVE YOU A LOOK AT LIVE SUPER DOPPLER RADAR GIVING US OUR THREE MINUTE ADVANTAGE. TWO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS. ONE WAS JUST ISSUED FOR THAT CELL THAT IS KIND OF MOVING INTO LANCASTER COUNTY, BUT ALSO INTO THE WESTERN PARTS OF SAUNDERS COUNTY AS WELL. THIS AREA HERE, THAT’S KIND OF BOWING OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT THERE. AND THAT’S THAT LITTLE BELLY OF THE STORM, WE’LL CALL IT, THAT’S EXTENDING OUT. AND THAT WILL PROBABLY MOVE RIGHT INTO SAUNDERS COUNTY SHORTLY. SO THAT’S A SIGN OF GUSTY WINDS THERE. AND THERE’S ALSO SOME UP TO NICKEL SIZED HAIL IN THE CORE OF SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS. THERE’S ALSO A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR SALINE. I THINK THE NORTHERN PART OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, AS THIS LINE CONTINUES MOVING EASTWARD, WE’VE BEEN MONITORING THE WINDS INSIDE THE STORM. SO WHERE YOU SEE SOME OF THE BRIGHTER COLORS, THAT WOULD BE THE STRONGER WIND. BUT WE WERE WATCHING AREAS OF ROTATION ACTUALLY UP NEAR ULYSSES THAT IS NOW EXTENDED AND BROADENED CONSIDERABLY. SO WE’RE NOT REALLY SEEING ANYTHING THAT TELLS US THERE’S GOING TO BE A TORNADO INSIDE ONE OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS, BUT WE’RE STILL GOING TO MONITOR JUST INSIDE THE STORM FOR ANYTHING WE DO. SEE ALONG THOSE LINES, WE’LL BRING THAT INFORMATION TO YOU AS WE SEE IT. THE SEVERE RISK FOR TONIGHT IS JUST A ONE OUT OF FIVE MARGINAL RISK. I KNOW THERE’S ALREADY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA, THOUGH. WE HAVE A SLIGHT RISK FOR THE DAY ON SUNDAY. AN ENHANCED RISK FROM SALINE COUNTY, GAGE COUNTY ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO RICHARDSON COUNTY IN FAR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. THAT WOULD BE FOR SUNDAY EVENING AND NIGHT. AND THEN THE RISK ALL SHIFTS EASTWARD ON MONDAY. SO WE GOT TWO DAYS HERE TODAY AND TOMORROW WHERE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH FOR SOME PARTS OF THE AREA TO SEE SEVERE WEATHER. LET’S WALK THROUGH IT ON STORM PREDICTOR. THERE’S 8 P.M. TONIGHT. I GOT TO TAKE THE COMPUTER MODELS WITH SOMEWHAT OF A GRAIN OF SALT TODAY, BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT DOING PERFECT RIGHT NOW. THEY’RE NOT REGISTERING THE STORMS, MOVING INTO OMAHA. IT SAYS THESE STORMS MAY MOVE IN BY 10:00. WE’LL HAVE TO SEE IF THAT HAPPENS, BECAUSE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A ROUND MOVE THROUGH PROBABLY AT 8:00 THIS EVENING. WE GO THROUGH A BIG LULL PERIOD OVERNIGHT. WE’RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING. THERE’S SUNDAY, YOU START YOUR DAY, MAYBE A SCATTERED SHOWER. IT’S GOING TO BE CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH THE DAY, AND THEN WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH OUT WEST. AND IT LOOKS LIKE ALONG I-80 WE MAY HAVE MORE STORMS COME IN. AND THAT WOULD BE SUNDAY EVENING. THIS COMPUTER MODEL SAYS 6 P.M. THESE ONES COULD HAVE SOME GUSTY WINDS. AGAIN, ON THE FRONT LINE OF THESE STORMS, SOME HAIL INSIDE THERE TOO. AND WE’LL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH IF THOSE STORMS DO ORGANIZE INTO A LINE, MAYBE BRIEF SPIN UP TORNADOES, KIND OF SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD ON THURSDAY. AND THEN MONDAY, EARLY MORNING, SAY AROUND 3 A.M. THAT’S OUR THIRD ROUND OF STORMS. AND WE’LL CALL THIS ROUND FOUR, WHICH WOULD NOT BE SEVERE. AND THAT WOULD COME MONDAY, EARLY MORNING AND MIDDAY. SO RAIN POTENTIAL, WE COULD ACTUALLY GET QUITE A BIT OUT OF THIS. SOME AREAS, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF I-80, COULD GET UP TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN, SO THAT WOULD QUITE BE SOMETHING. IF WE DO SEE THAT THERE’S A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. CROWN POINT SKYCAM. IT DOES LOOK KIND OF DARK. WE’RE NOT SEEING THOSE STORMS QUITE IN THE AREA YET OF THE METRO, BUT WE’RE GOING TO WATCH FOR THEM. 68 DEGREES. THE EAST WIND AT SEVEN MILES PER HOUR. HERE’S YOUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST. IMPACT WEATHER THROUGH THE NEXT UNTIL MIDNIGHT. WE’LL CALL IT. TEMPERATURES WILL GO FROM THE 60S DOWN INTO THE 50S. AND I THINK OUR BEST CHANCE OF RAIN IN OMAHA WILL COME AROUND 8:00 WITH THOSE THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE JUST PARKED OUT TO THE WEST. A LOW TEMPERATURE FOR TONIGHT, 50 DEGREES AND A LITTLE BIT COLDER WHERE THE FRONT COMES THROUGH SOONER UP NEAR NORFOLK COULD BE DOWN NEAR 40 DEGREES 70. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR TOMORROW. AND THEN WE’LL WATCH FOR THE STORMS IN THE EVENING AGAIN, MAYBE 5 OR 6:00. WE’LL START LOOKING BACK TO THE WEST FOR THOSE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ON SUNDAY. MONDAY. LESS OF A SEVERE THREAT WHEN IT COMES TO THE THUNDERSTORMS. AND IT MAY NOT BE THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY. IT MAY JUST BE SHOWERS THAT COME THROUGH DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, TUESDAY IS GOING TO BE A COOLER DAY AT 58. WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY. WE’RE INTO THE MID 60S, SO THAT’S KIND OF SEASONABLE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. BUT OUR MAIN CHANCES FOR RAIN ARE JUST GOING TO COME TODAY, SUNDAY, AND THEN MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA RAIN ON MONDAY AND THEN CLOSE IS PRE
