Warmer than average around the Omaha area this week

MASON OR A MASON? NO. FLOODING. MAYBE STICK TO THE WEATHER. OKAY. THIS EVENING WE’VE SEEN THE MILD TEMPERATURES HERE. AND WHILE IT WON’T BE COLD TOMORROW, THERE WILL BE A WIND BLOWING AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 40S. SO IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO FEEL A LOT COLDER THAN TODAY. SO GIVE IT A RANBY FACTOR OF FIVE. TOLERABLE FOR BEING AND WORKING OUTSIDE. BE SOME MORE CLOUD COVER AROUND TOO. THE LONGER RANGE TREND HERE FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. THE 13TH TO THE 18TH. WARMER THAN AVERAGE FOR MANY OF THE AREAS. IT’S BEEN SO COLD, ESPECIALLY THE EAST AND THE WEST COAST WHERE THEY’VE HAD ALMOST NO WINTER AT ALL, ABOUT TO BE COOLER THAN AVERAGE AND WETTER THAN AVERAGE. IT APPEARS THAT WE MAY BE SOMEWHAT STORMIER HERE TOO. AND THEN THIS AREA OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THAT HAS BEEN JUST HARD HIT MAY GET SOME MORE RAIN AND SNOW. WELL, TODAY, NO RAIN, NO SNOW AND REALLY WARM TEMPERATURES. NOT A RECORD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 64, BUT 62. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE WAY ABOVE AVERAGE AND NO PRECIPITATION THIS MONTH. NOTHING BUT THIS YEAR, ALL THAT RAIN THAT CAME DOWN ON JANUARY 8TH STILL HAS US SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE FOR MOISTURE FOR THE YEAR. BEAUTIFUL. LOOK AT THE GROWING AND IMPRESSIVE SKYLINE OF DOWNTOWN OMAHA FROM OUR CAMERA AT THE EMBASSY SUITES. 37, IN MILFORD BUT 48 AT THE COUNCIL BLUFFS AIRPORT. THAT’S A LITTLE HILLIER ON THE EAST SIDE OF COUNCIL BLUFFS, THE AIRPORT KIND OF DOWN IN THE VALLEY WHERE THE WINDS ARE PRETTY LIGHT RIGHT NOW. 40 IN LINCOLN, 44 IN FREMONT, 46 PLATTSMOUTH, MOSTLY LIGHT WINDS, BUT FREMONT HAS A BREEZE. NORFOLK HAS LITTLE BREEZE TO THE WEST HERE. WE’RE GOING TO PICK UP A NORTH WIND BY MORNING. DON’T HAVE ANY RAIN OR SNOW. HARDLY ANY CLOUDS CLOSE BY. AND I REALLY THOUGHT THERE’S A COLD FRONT COMING DOWN THAT WOULD BRING SOME LOW CLOUDS, BUT THERE’S STILL WAY UP JUST CROSSING THE BORDER FROM CANADA INTO NORTH DAKOTA. SO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SUNSHINE COMING UP AS WE GO INTO THE MORNING AT LEAST. SO FRONT COMING THROUGH TONIGHT. NORTH WINDS ARE BLOWING. I THINK THIS IS A LITTLE OVERDONE. WITH THE CLOUD COVER. THERE’LL BE SOME SUN MIXING IN, BUT IT WILL BE A CHILLIER DAY AND IT’S GOING TO BE WINDY TONIGHT. OUR FORECAST LOW IS 35 OR 38. THE WINDS DON’T PICK UP THOUGH UNTIL CLOSER TO MORNING AND THEN WINDY AND COOLER IN THE MORNING. THERE WILL BE SOME CLOUD COVER AROUND IN THE TEMPERATURES, GENERALLY STAYING IN THE LOW AND MID 40S FOR MOST OF THE DAY. 46 FOR THE HIGH, 46 FOR THE HIGH ON SATURDAY. SOME SUN KIND OF BREEZY THERE TOO, AND WE MAY GET STUCK WITH SOME MORNING CLOUDS ON SUNDAY. THE AGAIN, THIS IS A HARD THING TO FORECAST. THE LOW CLOUD COVER, WHICH HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON OUR TEMPERATURES. SO AS LONG AS WE DON’T GET STUCK WITH LOW CLOUDS FOR TOO LONG ON SUNDAY, OR SOMEHOW THEY GET IN HERE ON MONDAY, WE’RE LOOKI
