IF YOU CAN PUT UP WITH THAT
BREEZE.
HERE’S THE VIEW TO THE WEST FROM
LEWIS AND CLARK MONUMENT TOWARD
OMAHA SOUTH SIDE AT EPPLEY
AIRFIELD WHERE YOU’LL SEE THE
RAIN DEFICIT AT EPPLEY CLOSING
IN ON A FOOT.
THE YEAR, WE’RE INCREDIBLY DRY
OUT THERE 73 AT THE AIRPORT
SPEAKING OF DRY THAT DEWPOINT 45
DEGREES BEHIND THE FRONT THAT
CAME THROUGH THIS MORNING WITH
THE GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHWEST
WINDS LOW 70S ACROSS THE ENTIRE
METRO THE WARM SPOT 74 AND
FREMONT AND IN MILLARD, AND
THERE ARE THOSE WIND GUSTS OUT
OF THE NORTH-NORTHWEST BETWEEN
25 AND 35 MILES AN HOUR AND IT’S
GOING TO STAY PRETTY PRETTY
BLUSTERY AT LEAST THROUGH THE
START OF THE AFTERNOON.
BUT THEN LATER ON TODAY, YOU CAN
SEE THOSE NORTH TO NORTHWEST
WINDS AS WE GET CLOSER TO SUNSET
GUST CLOSER TO 20 MILES AN HOUR.
THEN WINDS WILL START TO CALM
DOWN LATER ON THIS EVENING HIGH
TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON IN
THE UPPER 70S ISOLATED PLACES
WILL HIT 80 DEGREES LINCOLN AND
EPPLEY TO THE TYPICAL WARM
SPOTS.
I THINK WILL OFFICIALLY TOUCH 80
THAT FRONT THERE IT IS WAY DOWN
TO OUR SOUTH THE CAME THRUGH
THIS MORNING.
IT FELT THE GUSTY WINDS YOU
MIGHT HAVE HEARD HIM OUTSIDE
YOUR WINDOW AS WELL.
BUT NOW BEHIND THAT WE ARE
PULLING IN A TON OF DRY AIR SO
THERE IS NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND
THAT’S NOT GOOD BECAUS THE
LATEST DROUGHT MONITOR THAT CAME
OUT THIS MORNING.
I THINK THIS RED AREA EXTREME
DROUGHT NOW ACROSS MOST OF WEST
CENTRAL IOWA.
IT DOES TECHNICALLY INCLUDE THE
CITY OF OMAHA AND AS FAR AS THE
RAIN DEFICIT GOES WE’RE ALMOST
AT A FOOT OF RAIN BELOW AVERAGE
THIS YEAR IN OMAHA AND LOOK AT
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OMAHA AND
LINCOLN.
IT’S ABOUT A 10 INCH DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES.
BOTTOM LINE IT IS INCREDIBLY DRY
AROUND HERE AND UNFORTUNATELY.
JUST NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS,
MAYBE A SPOTTY THUNDERSHOWERS ON
SATURDAY AS A WARM FRONT COMES
THROUGH BUT THOSE BETTER RAIN
CHANCES ARE OFF TO OUR NORTH AND
EAST AND THEN WE HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY OF
NEXT WEEK FOR OUR NEXT CHANCE
FOR A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN THAT’S
WHY THE WINDS CALM DOWN LATER ON
TONIGHT, AND THAT’S WHY
TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO START
OFF IN THE 50S TOMORROW MORNING.
GOOD NIGHT TO OPEN UP THE
WINDOWS.
WELL THAT COOL AIR COME IN AS
YOU SLEEP.
WELL WIND SHIFT LINE COMES
THROUGH TOMORROW WEST TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS BRING
TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 80S
WERE STILL DRY.
BUT THEN IT’S THIS WARM FRONT
THAT STARTS TO BRING IN A LITTLE
MORE HUMIDITY AND AGAIN THOSE
ISOLATED THUNDERSHOWERS POSSIBLE
LATE ON SATURDAY, AND THEN
SUNDAY IS WHERE WE HAVE THE REAL
BIG NUMBER 88 TOMORROW 93 AND
MUGGY ON.
AND THEN DRIER AIR COMES IN AND
PUSHES HIGHS INTO THE UPPER 90S
WITH STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ON
SUNDAY LABOR DAY.
WE’RE DOWN TO 90 FOR A HIGH IN
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO FALL
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS THAT
FRONT PLOWS THROUGH HERE AND
WE’LL BE IN THE 60S W
