RESILIENCE, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. YOU GOT TO LOVE IT. YOU GOT TO LOVE IT FOR SURE. HEY, NICE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY. A LITTLE BIT OF A RAIN CHANCE TONIGHT. MORE NICE WEATHER ON THE WAY FOR TOMORROW. THIS IS THE RANDBY FACTOR FOR TUESDAY. AND IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO BE AND WORK OUTSIDE, IT’S ANOTHER RANDBY FACTOR OF NINE. SPECTACULAR FOR BEING AND WORKING OUTSIDE. TUESDAY. BUT TONIGHT THERE’S SOME RAIN STARTING TO APPROACH THE METRO FROM THE WEST. THE QUESTION IS, WILL THE SOUTH EDGE HOLD TOGETHER OR WILL IT LIFT NORTH? I MEAN, IF YOU’RE DOWN HERE IN PLATTSMOUTH OR BELLEVUE, YOUR RAIN CHANCES ARE SMALLER THAN THEY ARE UP TOWARD EPPLEY SAY THIS IS OUR LATEST COMPUTER MODEL. IT’S NOT PERFECT. I MEAN, THAT’S WE USE THESE COMPUTER MODELS, BUT THEY’RE NOT TELLING THE FUTURE. EXACTLY. NOBODY HAS A CRYSTAL BALL HERE. YOU SEE, THIS DOES KIND OF BRING RAIN IN. AND THEN NORTH OF THE OMAHA METRO, BETWEEN 11 AND MIDNIGHT, 1 A.M., SORT OF EXITING INTO WESTERN IOWA AND THEN BY 3 A.M., SKIES CLEARING AGAIN, TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50S. TODAY, A WARM ONE, A HIGH OF 75, WHICH IS NINE ABOVE THE AVERAGE AND 40 FOR THE LOW. THAT’S PRETTY CLOSE TO AVERAGE. NO RAIN YET. MAYBE WE GET SOME BEFORE MIDNIGHT. THIS MONTH WE’RE JUST ABOUT 7/10 OF AN INCH, BUT THAT’S 1.2 BELOW AVERAGE. AND FOR THE YEAR WE’RE TWO INCHES BELOW AVERAGE. AND THAT’S EVEN WITH THAT BIT OF RAIN THAT WE HAD ON SUNDAY. THE GOOD THING THAT HAPPENED WITH THE WIDESPREAD LIGHT RAIN, IT DID TAKE A LOT OF THE POLLEN OUT OF THE AIR. CURRENTLY, JUST A MEDIUM COUNT OF TREE POLLEN. THAT’S OUR CAMERA AT THE METHODIST WOMEN’S HOSPITAL. WE’RE LOOKING OUT TO THE NORTHWEST. A COUPLE OF LIGHTNING STRIKES WAY OFF IN THE DISTANCE. 67 SOUTH WIND AT 18. TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. EXCEPT WHERE IT’S RAINED OUT HERE IN COLUMBUS AND NORFOLK. THEY ARE NOW DOWN IN THE 50S. WINDS ARE PRETTY LIGHT. WE MAY BRIEFLY GET GUSTY WINDS WITH THE SHOWERS AS THEY MOVE THROUGH. THERE’S A LIVE LOOK. HERE’S AN ANIMATED LOOK AT THE LAST HALF HOUR, AND YOU CAN SEE THIS EDGING EASTWARD. AND SO THIS IS OUR CHANCE HERE OUT NORTH OF DAVID CITY. PERHAPS THAT HOLDS TOGETHER ACROSS SAUNDERS COUNTY. DOUGLAS COUNTY. IT’S ALSO POSSIBLE KIND OF PEEL UP TO THE NORTH A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY IS LIFTING UP NORTH INTO SOUTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA. EITHER WAY, IT’S OUT OF HERE BY MORNING. AND ANOTHER REALLY, REALLY NICE DAY WHICH WILL HAVE LIGHTER WINDS THAN WE SAW TODAY. SO THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL THAT TUESDAY COULD BE ONE OF THE TOP TEN DAYS OF THE YEAR FOR BEING WORKING OUTSIDE, AND WE’LL THROW THAT AROUND LIGHTLY. THAT IS A BIG DEAL HERE. THE TOP TEN DAY BELLS, WHISTLES THE WHOLE NINE YARDS, BUT IT LOOKS GREAT. LIGHT WINDS, COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES. TONIGHT’S LOW 51 A 40% CHANCE WE GET MEASURABLE RAIN AT EPPLEY SHOWER. THUNDER SHOWER BETWEEN SAY, 1030 AND MIDNIGHT 52 AT 8 A.M., 64 AT NOON, 73 AT 5:00. SPECTACULAR. AND A HIGH OF 75 FOR EARTH DAY. A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN ON LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. WEDNESDAY. ALSO INTO THURSDAY, AND THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE DOWN A FEW DEGREES THERE. THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND THEN A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN ON SUNDAY. AND THIS IS ALL GREAT NEWS. I MEAN, YOU LOVE TO GET SOME RAIN AND SPRING. WE’RE DRY, WE NEED SOME MOISTURE, SO FINGERS CROSSED HERE.
