Warming trend continues Friday, mainly dry in Omaha area

SEE SOME THIS WEEKEND. AND HERE’S REALLY WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TODAY. FOR THE MOST PART, WE’RE DRY, MAY SEE A FEW SPRINKLES, BUT TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO RISE. HIGHS IN THE 70S, POSSIBLY GETTING INTO THE 80S BRIEFLY TOMORROW. BUT TOMORROW THAT BEST RAIN CHANCE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE SOUTHWEST OF THE METRO AREA, SO WE MAY MISS OUT ON SOME OF THAT MOISTURE HERE IN OMAHA. IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING, THOUGH THAT’S GOOD FOR YOUR OUTDOOR PLANS AND POTENTIAL FOR TOP TEN DAY WEATHER FOR MOTHER’S DAY. SO SOME GREAT WEATHER TO GET OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND. AND THEN TEMPERATURES. WELL, THEY KEEP CLIMBING NEXT WEEK. HIGHS IN THE 80S. RIGHT NOW IN THE FORECAST FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE WEEK. 12 HOUR FORECAST TODAY IN THE MORNING EARLY BEFORE 8:00. CAN’T RULE OUT A FEW SPRINKLES OR VERY BRIEF SHOWER AND THEN POSSIBLY AGAIN LATE IN THE DAY. BUT MOST OF THE DAY I THINK WE’LL BE DRY FOR THE MAJORITY OF US. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING FROM THE 50S IN THE MORNING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S BY THE END OF THE DAY. SO STILL SOME GREAT WEATHER TO GET OUTSIDE. SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR SHOWING SOME OF THE SHOWERS THAT HAVE REALLY BEEN FALLING APART UP TO THE NORTH. DID GET A REPORT OF AT LEAST A BRIEF SHOWER IN COLUMBUS. SO IF YOU’RE COLUMBUS SCHUYLER LIKELY NORTH BEND LIKELY SEEING SOME SPRINKLES OR SOME BRIEF LIGHT RAIN. IF THIS CAN HOLD TOGETHER, MAY SEE A FEW OF THOSE SPRINKLES INTO THE METRO AS WE APPROACH THE 6:00 HOUR. BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE DRY. BEAUTIFUL. LOOK OVER DOWNTOWN OMAHA FROM OUR LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE BUILDING CAMERA 49 DEGREES AT EPPLEY DEW .34. SO THERE’S QUITE THE DIFFERENCE THERE, SHOWING THAT AIR LAYER OF DRY AIR NEAR THE SURFACE THAT’S TRYING TO EAT UP ANY OF THAT RAIN THAT’S TRYING TO FALL. SO MOST TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S AND 50S RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SEE THE DEW POINTS, MANY IN THE 30S. SO AGAIN, THAT’S WHAT’S INHIBITING MOST OF THE RAIN FROM REACHING THE GROUND. BUT STILL SOME SHOWERS. OVERCOMING THAT, AS WE SAW WITH THE GROUND REPORT IN COLUMBUS EARLIER. SO STILL EARLY PART OF THE MORNING DRIVE MAY SEE A FEW RAIN ON YOUR WINDSHIELD, BUT NOT ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE MUCH REALLY ANY IMPACT. THOSE SCOOT OUT CLOUDS WILL BREAK A LITTLE BIT MORE, SO BY NOON, MORE SUNSHINE, TEMPERATURES, UPPER 60S LOW 70S, AND THEN MORE CLOUDS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON AND MAY TRY TO SQUEAK OUT A FEW STRAY SHOWERS. AGAIN, A LOT OF DRY AIR TO OVERCOME. SO MAYBE A FEW SPRINKLES HERE AND THERE. BUT MAJORITY OF US STAYING DRY. TEMPERATURES MID TO UPPER 70S. LOOKING GOOD FOR YOUR FRIDAY EVENING PLANS. PATIO WEATHER I’D SAY UPPER 40S, LOW 50S TO START AND THEN THE CLOUDS WILL INCREASE. AND HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK WILL BE DRY. IF YOU’RE DOWN IN LINCOLN. YORK. NEBRASKA CITY BEATRICE. BETTER CHANCE TO SEE LATER AFTERNOON EVENING SHOWERS, MAYBE A STRAY RUMBLE OF THUNDER SO SOUTHWEST THE METRO. BETTER CHANCE TO SEE POSSIBLE IMPACTS FROM RAIN TOMORROW, AND THEN SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT. NOT TOO BREEZY. TOP TEN DAY WEATHER FOR MOM ON MOTHER’S DAY SUNDAY. LOW 70S AND THEN HEATING U
