Warm and windy today in Omaha
METEOROLOGIST LUKE VICKERY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. WELL, NOW WE’RE STARTING TO SEE TEMPERATURES RISE AS THE SOUTH WIND IS REALLY KICKING IN AND WE’RE GETTING THE SUNSHINE HERE TOO. BUT THE COMBINATION OF THAT IN THE DRY GROUND, WE DO HAVE SOME FIRE DANGER CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN NEBRASKA. SO TODAY, WARM, WINDY A LITTLE CHANCE WE COULD ACTUALLY GET SOME RAIN TO BE VERY BRIEF. BUT AS A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH LATER ON THIS EVENING, THURSDAY, THERE’S A SNOW CHANCE IT WILL ALSO BE ANOTHER WINDY DAY, SO THAT COULD BE A CHANCE WE ACTUALLY PICK UP ON SOME WELL NEEDED MOISTURE. OUTSIDE OF THAT LITTLE CHANCE FOR THIS EVENING. AND THEN WE’RE BACK TO WINTER LATE NEXT OR LATE THIS WEEK. THAT IS, AFTER THAT THURSDAY SYSTEM COMES THROUGH THAT WILL DRAG IN THE COLDER AIR. LET’S JUST TIME OUT THIS AFTERNOON FOR YOU. WE’RE GETTING INTO THE SUNSHINE NOW, BUT WE’RE ALSO GETTING INTO THAT SOUTH WIND. SO AGAIN, RAINY, WINDY. SUNNY. THE CLOUDS WILL COME BACK IN LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THAT’S 8:00 AROUND WHEN THE COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH. AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE COULD HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT, SPOTTY SHOWERS. IT WOULD BE BRIEF, MAYBE 8 OR 9:00 FOR OMAHA. THEN IT ZIPS ON OUT OF HERE AND THE WIND WILL DECREASE A LITTLE BIT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, BUT IT WILL STILL BE WITH US, THOUGH THE CLOUDS EVENTUALLY WILL GET MORE SUN, THOUGH. 61 DEGREES. LOOK AT THAT SOUTH WIND 24MPH. IT’S BOOSTING THE TEMPERATURES, THOUGH. WE’RE AT 58. IN PLATTSMOUTH, 63 UP IN TEKAMAH 61 DEGREES IN CARROLL. THE WIND SPEEDS OUT OF THE SOUTH ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 25MPH. BUT THE WIND GUSTS OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE BIT STRONGER, NEARING IN ON 35 OR ALMOST 40MPH. UP INTO CAME, I THINK IT COULD STRENGTHEN A LITTLE BIT MORE AS THAT FRONT APPROACHES LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. BUT LIVE DEUEL POLES PRETTY QUIET FOR US. IT’S TRYING TO SAY THERE COULD BE A SHOWER ALOFT DOWN SOUTHEAST OF MARYVILLE. I DON’T THINK THAT’S REALLY HAPPENING OR TOUCHING THE GROUND, BUT AS WE’RE IN THE WARM SECTOR OF THIS SYSTEM HERE THAT’S COMING THROUGH, THIS IS REALLY SYSTEM NUMBER ONE. SYSTEM NUMBER TWO COMES ON THURSDAY. BUT THIS IS JUST WARM AND WINDY FOR US WITH THAT LITTLE CHANCE OF A SHOWER LATER ON THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT COMES THROUGH AGAIN. THAT’D BE AROUND 8 OR 9:00 BEFORE THEN THOUGH. THIS AFTERNOON SUNNY, WINDY AND WARM TEMPERATURES. EVEN WARMER THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY. WE’RE FORECASTING A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 74 DEGREES, JUST UNDER THE RECORD HIGH SET BACK IN 2017 FOR FEBRUARY 17TH DAY. I THINK IF YOU LIVE FURTHER WEST, THOUGH, COLUMBUS YORK LINCOLN TEMPERATURES MID UPPER 70S. I THINK OUR LIKELIHOOD FOR TODAY WITH THE SUNSHINE AND THE STRONG SOUTH WIND, LOW TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY SHOULD BE HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOWER 40S. THAT’D BE CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR HIGHS, BUT THAT’S REALLY WHAT YOU’LL WAKE UP TO TOMORROW. 65 DEGREES IN THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. SO STILL WARM. BUT AFTER THAT FRONT COMES THROUGH WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COLDER. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY. NOW THE NEXT SYSTEM BUILDING ON WEDNESDAY. BUT IT COMES THROUGH ON THURSDAY. AND LOOK AT THIS. SOME SNOW COULD BUILD IN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON TOP OF US. MOST COMPUTER MODELS HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THIS MUCH FURTHER NORTH. THIS IS THE FIRST COMPUTER MODEL WE’VE SEEN ON THURSDAY THAT’S ACTUALLY TRYING TO BRING US A PLOWABLE AMOUNT OF SNOW, SO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH THURSDAY CLOSELY. BUT RIGHT NOW, IN TERMS OF SNOWFALL, IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE LIKELIHOOD OF IT BEING NORTH OF OMAHA IS THERE. SO WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FOR YOU. KEEP TUNING BACK IN AS WE REFINE THAT FORECAST. AND THEN WE’RE COLDER BY THE WEEKEND. SO WE GOT SOMEWHAT OF A SPRING-LIKE FEEL HERE TODAY AND TOMORROW. BUT WINTER IT’S GOING TO COME BACK HERE REAL SOON.
