Windy & warm Wednesday in Omaha with highs into the 80s

THEY’RE SO SNEAKY. JULIE. IT’S SAD. IT IS SAD. THERE ARE JUST SO MANY SCAMS, SCAMS OUT THERE, BUT SO MUCH JUNK IN THE EMAILS AND STUFF. YOU HAVE TO FISH THROUGH. IT’S CRAZY, CRAZY WORLD OUT THERE. WELL, WE GOT SOME BEAUTIFUL WEATHER FOR SURE. RANDBY FACTOR TIME THIS EVENING. WE HAD AN EIGHT TOMORROW. WEDNESDAY RANDBY FACTOR SEVEN. PLEASANT FOR BEING AND WORKING OUTSIDE. IT WILL BE WARM AGAIN. IT WILL BE A LITTLE WINDY. AND AS YOU LOOK AT STORM PREDICTOR, THIS IS LATE TONIGHT. EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. IT DOES TRY TO POP UP A COUPLE LITTLE CLOUDS OR EVEN A SPOTTY SHOWER OR TWO, MAINLY NORTHEAST OF THE OMAHA METRO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. AND THEN WE LOOK AHEAD TO THURSDAY WHERE THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER SAYS THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE AREA TO BE THE MAIN THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS. THERE COULD BE SOME LARGE HAIL, AND YOU CAN’T COMPLETELY RULE OUT A LITTLE BRIEF SPIN UP TORNADO ON THE FRONT SIDE OF ONE OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS, BUT NOT A FULL FLEDGED TORNADO OUTBREAK. THIS IS 8 A.M. THURSDAY. LOOK AT THE LOW CLOUD COVER AND THE TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. AND THEN LUNCHTIME. THE LOW CLOUD COVER, DRIZZLE, SPRINKLES, TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. BUT 4:00, WE START WATCHING RIGHT ALONG HERE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO START DEVELOPING. THERE’S 5:00, 6:00 AND THEN WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. RAPID PUSH TO THE EAST ON THE LEADING EDGE, INDICATING MAYBE SOME DAMAGING WINDS, OR AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT. THERE’S 8:00 AND THEN BY 10:00 IT’S DES MOINES THAT’S LOOKING AT THAT. AND WE ARE IN THE CLEAR HERE TODAY. WE REACHED 88 FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE, JUST TWO FROM THE RECORD HIGH FOR THE STATE. WE’RE 58 FOR THE LOW. AND THAT’S 15 ABOVE AVERAGE, NO PRECIPITATION. IT’S BEEN WET THIS MONTH OF APRIL. BUT RECENTLY IT HAS DRIED OUT AND THERE IS A REAL FIRE DANGER. LOOK AT THE CITY THERE. THAT’S OUR CAMERA AT 72ND. CROWN POINT ZOOMED IN TIGHT. WHEN YOU HAVE LIGHT WINDS, YOU CAN DO THAT. AND THE CAMERA CAPABILITY THAT WE HAVE UNMATCHED, UNPARALLELED, CERTAINLY IN THE MIDWEST HERE AS FAR AS TV STATION CAMERAS, MAYBE THE FOLKS OVER AT DES MOINES, OUR SISTER STATION AT KCCI HAVE A SIMILAR CAMERA NETWORK, BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING IN THE OMAHA AREA. A LITTLE LIGHT SOUTHEAST BREEZE IS BLOWING. DEUEL PAUL SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR. IT’S QUIET. THE MIDWEST QUIET RIGHT NOW. BUT LOOK AT THIS STORM. SEE THAT? THAT’S THE SYSTEM THAT’S COMING EASTWARD TO GIVE US THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY. TONIGHT, PRETTY QUIET TOMORROW MORNING, MAYBE RIGHT THERE JUST EAST OF US INTO IOWA. SOUTH WINDS BLOW AND TEMPERATURES WARM TOMORROW NIGHT. WE KEEP A SOUTH BREEZE STAYS MILD AND THERE’S ALL THAT LOW CLOUD COVER. AND THEN HERE’S THE FRONT. AND THAT’S WHAT TRIGGERS OUR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ON THURSDAY. TONIGHT’S LOW, IF YOU COULD CALL IT THAT, 59 DEGREES. HERE’S TOMORROW. SLIGHT, SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER AT 8 A.M., ESPECIALLY OVER IN IOWA. BUT AGAIN, THE LOW TO MID 80S. THERE’S THE SEVERE WEATHER DAY FOR THURSDAY. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS, PRIMARILY 4 P.M. TO 8 P.M. FOR OMAHA. BREEZY, SOMEWHAT COOLER, BUT NOT BAD ON FRIDAY. COOLER WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS ON SATURDAY AND THEN RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND ON SUNDAY
