Warmer weather starting Thursday in Omaha with highs into the low 70s

OMAHA’S CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BILL RANDY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST SPRINGVIEW FACTOR. TIME FOR THIS EVENING. I SAY THIS EVENING GETS A SEVEN PLEASANT FOR BEING AND WORKING OUTSIDE. TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 60. NOT SUPER BREEZY. WE STILL HAVE SOME TREE POLLEN, ALTHOUGH IT’S NOT AS BAD AS THE LAST FEW DAYS. TECHNICALLY A HIGH COUNT OF 93, BUT YESTERDAY THE COUNT WAS 752. TINY BIT OF GRASS POLLEN, WEED POLLEN, AIR QUALITY. GOOD. SO FAR TODAY, 60 HAS BEEN OUR HIGH. THAT IS 11 BELOW THE AVERAGE. AND WE SNUCK DOWN TO 37 THIS MORNING. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, NO FROST IN THE OMAHA AREA, ALTHOUGH GOT DOWN TO 32 IN TEKAMAH, SO A LITTLE CHILLIER FARTHER NORTH. NO PRECIPITATION TODAY AND PRETTY DRY SO FAR THIS MONTH. THAT’S THE WEST DODGE EXPRESSWAY. OUR CAMERA AT THE CHARLES SCHWAB BUILDING 59 AT THE MOMENT AT EPPLEY AIRFIELD, NORTHWEST BREEZE AT 12. NOW THAT’S A REALLY LOW DEW POINT. 23. THAT MEANS IT’S GOING TO BE EASY FOR TEMPERATURES TO FALL WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. 59,000,060 BELLEVUE 55. COUNCIL BLUFFS 55 IS THE NUMBER IN ATLANTIC. CRESTON, HARLAN, DENISON AND CAROL. A LOT OF LOW 60S IN SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. AND LOOK AT THIS DRY AIR. THE THING ABOUT TONIGHT I EXPECT TO SEE A LITTLE SOUTH BREEZE DEVELOP. AT THE MOMENT THE BREEZE IS COMING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST, BUT WITH TIME WE’LL SEE THE WINDS SWITCH AROUND TO THE WEST AND THEN SOUTHWEST. LATER ON TONIGHT, PICK UP BY MORNING, NO PRECIPITATION AND REALLY NOT THAT MUCH CLOUD COVER. MORE SUN THAN EXPECTED TODAY. TEMPERATURES, THOUGH STILL A LITTLE ON THE COOL SIDE. OH IN DENVER GOT THEIR SNOW. YOU CAN SEE THE STORM SYSTEM THERE MOVING OUT AND OTHERWISE PRETTY QUIET AT THE MOMENT. LOOKING FOR SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. SO IT’S REALLY CHILLY RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? BUT THE LONGER RANGE TREND IS WARMER THAN AVERAGE FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH OF MAY 14TH TO THE 20TH, ACCORDING TO THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER. WETTER THAN AVERAGE IN TEXAS UP INTO THE GREAT LAKES. AND WE’RE SORT OF ON THE EDGE OF THAT. SO MAYBE A LITTLE STORMIER. AND BOY, WE COULD USE THAT AS WE ARE UNDERGOING A DRY STRETCH. AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A REALLY WET TIME OF THE YEAR. WELL, LATER TONIGHT, A LITTLE WARM FRONT DEVELOPS A COUPLE OF SHOWERS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OF US, AND THAT SOUTHWEST BREEZE TO BOOST TEMPERATURES BEFORE MORNING. AND THAT FRONT KIND OF HANGS IN THE AREA. BUT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME SUN TOMORROW. WARMER TEMPERATURES THAN TODAY. OUTSIDE. CHANCE OF A SHOWER OVERNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT AND THEN FRIDAY. BACK TO PARTLY SUNNY SKIES AND STILL PRETTY MILD CONDITIONS. TONIGHT 40 THE LOW, PARTLY CLOUDY. FARTHER NORTH. YOU ARE THE COOLER IT’S GOING TO GET BEFORE WE GET A LITTLE BREEZE DEVELOP HERE. SO IF YOU’RE IN HARLAN DENISON, OTTAWA MIGHT WANT TO COVER UP YOUR PLANS TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. I THINK WE’RE SAFE HERE IN OMAHA. THAT LOOKS NICE. TOMORROW, AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE LOWER, POSSIBLY MID 70S. FRIDAY 77 FOR THE HIGH. THAT LOOKS NICE. AND THEN SATURDAY THE RAIN CHANCE. NOW WE HAVE AT 30%. YESTERDAY WE HAD 40%. IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THERE’LL BE THAT MUCH MOISTURE AROUND. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THERE’LL BE MUCH OF A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. SO JUST PERHAPS SOMETHING TO WATCH IS I KNOW THERE’S SOME GRADUATION. YOU WENT OUT ON SATURDAY, SO HOPEFULLY NO SHOWERS FOR THAT.
