Warming trend continues Sunday in Omaha area

STARTED OFF BELOW FREEZING, MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE TO START THE DAY. AND OUR WARMING TREND GOING TO CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE DAYS HERE AS WE WRAP UP THE WEEKEND AND HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SO EXPECT HIGHS IN THE 70S TODAY, 80 IS LOOKING LIKELY TOMORROW BEFORE A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH, AND THAT WILL KNOCK TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN. SO MUCH COOLER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS. I THINK BETTER RAIN CHANCES. ANY STORM CHANCES WILL BE SOUTH OF THE METRO. SO FOR THE MOST PART WE’RE GOING TO BE MAINLY DRY BEFORE WE SEE TEMPERATURES REBOUND IN 70S RETURN BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SO UP AND DOWN TEMPERATURES FOR THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF MAY SEE SOME CLOUDS AROUND AS WE LOOK EAST FROM MEMPHIS WOMEN’S HOSPITAL HERE ON THE SUNDAY MORNING, 51 DEGREES. BUT LOOK AT THE DEW .34. SO DRY AIR IN PLACE, SOUTH BREEZE AT THE MOMENT. SO TEMPERATURES 40S AND 50S TO START THE DAY 55 IN LINCOLN RIGHT NOW, 56 IN PLATTSMOUTH, 46 IN HARLAN. TEMPERATURES 15 2025. SOME SPOTS CLOSE TO 30 DEGREES WARMER NOW THAN THIS TIME YESTERDAY. WE STARTED OFF WITH THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S AND 30S SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE TO BE OUTSIDE THIS MORNING, EARLY ON AROUND SUNRISE HERE ON THE 12 HOUR FORECAST. STILL MAY NEED A LIGHT JACKET. EARLY ON, TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S. YOU SEE, THE WIND WILL SHIFT MORE OUT OF THE NORTH, AND IT WILL BE A LITTLE BREEZY AT TIMES. SOME OF THOSE GUSTS AROUND 20MPH, BUT TEMPERATURES LOW TO MID 50S OR LOW TO MID 70S. MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. SO MAYBE A TAD TOO BREEZY, TAD TOO CLOUDY FOR A TOP TEN DAY. BUT REGARDLESS, A GREAT DAY TO GET OUTSIDE. SEEN SOME RETURNS IN THE POSITIVE RADAR WITH OUR RADAR SATELLITE. LOUP HERE WITH THE CLOUDS, BUT A LOT OF DRY SURFACE AIR. AS I SHOWED YOU, LIKELY PREVENTS ANY RAIN FROM REACHING THE GROUND IN OUR AREA HERE. AS WE GO THROUGHOUT SUNDAY. A FEW MORE SHOWERS THERE IN EASTERN IOWA NOW TOMORROW, WITH THE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH LATER IN THE DAY. NOT A LOT OF MOISTURE FOR STORMS HERE, BUT STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS THAT MARGINAL RISK JUST SOUTH OF THE METRO. I THINK BETTER CHANCES WILL BE EVEN MORE SOUTH CLOSER TO THE KANSAS MISSOURI BORDERS AND CONTINUING SOUTH AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY NIGHT, MAYBE 1 OR 2 COULD PRODUCE A LITTLE BIT OF HAIL AND WIND. BUT I THINK FOR THE MOST PART MAY JUST SEE A FEW SHOWERS HERE AND THERE NEAR THE METRO, AS YOU SEE HERE ON STORM PREDICTOR TODAY, CLOUDS AROUND UPPER 60S, AGAIN, A LITTLE TOO DRY FOR ANYTHING TO REACH THE GROUND, LOW TO MID 70S BY 5:00 TOMORROW MORNING. STARTING OFF AGAIN. UPPER 40S LOW 50S. WE’LL SEE A FEW MORE CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES LIKELY CLIMBING IN THE LOW TO MID 80S, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE METRO AREA. WITH THAT COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATER AND YOU CAN SEE BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS. RUMBLES OF THUNDER, MAYBE SOME ISOLATED STRONGER STORMS DOWN TOWARD MARYVILLE OR FALLS CITY. SO CAN’T RULE OUT A SHOWER MONDAY NIGHT. BUT THEN JUST GETTING COOLER WITH THOSE TEMPERATURES, UPPER 50S, LOW 60S THROUGH T
