Tracking Thursday storm chance for Omaha, possibly severe

WALK TO WHERE YOU NEED TO GO. ABSOLUTELY WARM TEMPERATURES. IT’S KIND OF WINDY. MAYBE IT’S TOUGH GOING SOUTH ON THE BIKE, BUT GOING THE OTHER WAY IS JUST FINE. AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE WINDS WILL STAY WITH US HERE THIS EVENING. AND IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO BE OUTSIDE, IT’S QUANECIA MENTIONED. PRETTY PLEASANT. A FACTOR OF SEVEN. WE’D HAVE IT HIGHER THAN THAT. BUT AGAIN, THE WIND IS SO STRONG OUT THERE, IT’S NOT PERFECT FOR ALL ACTIVITIES. OKAY, TOMORROW, STORM PREDICTION CENTER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS AND THEY HAVE SHIFTED THIS OUTLOOK FARTHER TO THE EAST VERSUS YESTERDAY. BUT STILL ALL THOSE THREATS ARE A POSSIBILITY. WE’LL RUN THROUGH THE COMPUTER MODELS HERE. THIS IS THE HIGH RESOLUTION, RAPID REFRESH DELIGHTFUL WEATHER THIS EVENING. CLOUDS COME IN LATER TONIGHT. SOME SPRINKLES AND DRIZZLE BY 7 AM TOMORROW. HERE’S LUNCHTIME SCATTERED SHOWERS. I WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW COMPUTER MODEL RUN SINCE LUNCHTIME. IT MAKES INITIAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT RIGHT ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER, JUST EAST AND SOUTH OF OMAHA AT TWO, THREE, 4:00, AND THEN TRACKS THE ACTIVITY INTO IOWA, FAR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA, NORTHWEST MISSOURI. THAT WOULD JUST ABOUT MISS THE OMAHA METRO WITH THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THAT’S A POSSIBILITY. THE OTHER COMPUTER MODEL WE USE AGAIN THIS EVENING. DELIGHTFUL. LATER ON TONIGHT, CLOUDS START TO INCREASE. LOTS OF CLOUDS, SOME DRIZZLE OR LIGHT SHOWERS. 8 AM HERE’S LUNCHTIME TOMORROW. HERE’S 2:00. IT HAS THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT FREMONT TO LINCOLN AND THEN INTO THE OMAHA METRO TWO, THREE, 4:00 AND THEN STARTS TRACKING EASTWARD. THIS WOULD PUT THE OMAHA METRO RIGHT IN SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND THEN A WIND DAMAGE THREAT FOR MOST OF IOWA. AS THESE STORMS RACE OUT TO THE EAST DURING THE EVENING. SO NOT CLEAR CUT THAT WE’RE GOING TO GET THE SEVERE STORMS IN OMAHA. THE AMOUNT OF RAIN PROBABLY WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH, UNLESS YOU GET LUCKY UNDERNEATH ONE OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS, YOU GET UP TO AN INCH OF RAIN. HARLAN I MENTIONED THIS ONE OF THE HIGHEST POLLEN LEVELS OF TREE POLLEN WE’VE RECORDED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS HERE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. TODAY, IT WILL PROBABLY BE HIGH AGAIN TOMORROW BECAUSE THEY TAKE THAT OBSERVATION EARLY IN THE MORNING, BUT GOT SOME RAIN COMING, REACHING 82 SO FAR TODAY AND OUR LOW TEMPERATURE THIS MORNING 61. WE’RE FORECASTING A LOW TONIGHT OF 63. SO REMOVE MILD PARTLY CLOUDY. SOME DRIZZLE A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT. TOMORROW CLOUDS DRIZZLE MORNING MIDDAY. SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. THAT’S IMPACT WEATHER BUT SEVERE WEATHER TWO THREE 4:00 WITH THOSE THUNDERSTORM POSSIBILITIES AND A HIGH OF 75. BACK TO NICER WEATHER, ALTHOUGH COOLER ON FRIDAY. SOME SUNSHINE, A LITTLE BREEZY. NORTHWEST WINDS ARE BLOWING. DOES LOOK A LITTLE COOLER FOR THE WEEKEND, AND WE ARE WATCHING OUT FOR MORE THUNDERSTORM POSSIBILITIES ON SUNDAY. KIND OF A SNEAKY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, PERHAPS FOR SOUTHERN PARTS OF OUR VIEWING AREA TO WATCH FOR SUNDAY. YOU DON
