Turning up the heat Thursday, slight storm chance

THE WAY. AND IF YOU’RE A FAN OF FALL WEATHER, WELL, FALL IS ONLY A FEW DAYS AWAY AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT. THIS MORNING WE DO HAVE ACTIVITY ON SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR. BETTER CHANCE FOR THE DOWNPOURS. RUMBLES OF THUNDER BETWEEN WEEPING WATER AND NEBRASKA CITY RIGHT NOW AND LIKELY INTO PLATTSMOUTH. SO MAINLY SOUTH OF OMAHA, THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THIS LITTLE CLUSTER KIND OF FIZZLING OUT, BUT STILL POSSIBLY GET A LITTLE SHOWER INTO ASHLAND GRETNA SOON. BETTER CHANCE FOR ANY RAIN RIGHT NOW. LOOKING BETTER IN SARPY COUNTY THAN DOUGLAS COUNTY, BUT STILL CAN’T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER. MAYBE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER NEARBY, MAINLY BEFORE SEVEN 8:00. I STILL THINK MOST STAY DRY, BUT JUST IN CASE, HAVE THE RAIN JACKET THIS MORNING. WARM START IN THE 70S. THE AFTERNOON. HOT. HUMID. SUNNY. WE’RE INTO THE 90S. LIKELY GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE MID 90S AND THEN WATCHING FOR A CHANCE OF SOME EVENING STORMS. MAINLY EAST OF THE METRO. SO MAINLY IN IOWA YOU SEE THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS FROM CARROLL DOWN TOWARD MARYVILLE, MISSOURI, AND THEN OFF TO THE EAST, CENTRAL AND EASTERN IOWA. SO THERE COULD BE A FEW ISOLATED STORMS THAT COULD PRODUCE SOME HAIL AND WIND, MAINLY EAST OF THE METRO. I THINK WE MISS OUT ON ALL OF IT HERE. THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY, BUT YOU SEE THE RAIN CHANCES INTO THE WEEKEND. SATURDAY, SUNDAY, REALLY? IT’S SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. WE ARE LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND STORM POTENTIAL, SOME POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN. WE’VE BEEN NEARLY BONE DRY HERE SO FAR IN SEPTEMBER. HERE’S RAIN POTENTIAL AGAIN THIS MORNING. MAYBE A PASSING SHOWER MORE OFF TO THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON OR LATER THIS EVENING. MORE INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN IOWA. THEN WATCH WHAT HAPPENS THROUGH FRIDAY. FRIDAY NIGHT, MAINLY DRY. WE STOP IT AROUND NOON ON SATURDAY. CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF SATURDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL. THIS IS JUST ONE MODEL PROJECTION. DON’T GET HUNG UP ON THE NUMBERS, BUT BASICALLY HINTING AT WE’VE GOT A GOOD CHANCE TO SEE SOME WIDESPREAD RAINFALL, POSSIBLY 1 TO 3IN, SOME SPOTS, MAYBE UP TO FOUR INCHES OF RAINFALL BY THE END OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY. THAT’S A LOOK OVER DOWNTOWN OMAHA ON THIS WARM THURSDAY MORNING, 74 DEGREES DEW POINTS ALREADY IN THE 60S. A LITTLE BIT OF A SOUTHEAST BREEZE, MOST IN THE 70S TO START THE DAY. 76 WARM SPOT IN BEATRICE 73, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA CITY. SHENANDOAH A FEW MORE SPOTTY STORMS NORTH OF DENISON. THERE’S THE LITTLE CLUSTER HERE THAT’S GOING TO PUSH OFF TO THE EAST. SO BY 7:00, ANY ACTIVITY LIKELY ON THE IOWA SIDE OF THE RIVER, ANY ACTIVITY AROUND THE METRO LIKELY MOVING OUT, THEN WE’RE WARMING UP MID 80S BY NOON INTO THE 90S BY 4 OR 5:00. AGAIN, FEELING MORE LIKE THE MID 90S THEN WATCHING OFF TO THE EAST AS WE HEAD AFTER 6:00 FOR A FEW STORMS TO POP UP. THESE WILL BE THE ONES THAT POSSIBLY HAVE SOME WIND AND HAIL ATLANTIC DOWN TOWARD SHENANDOAH AND MARYVILLE. THEN QUICKLY PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST. AND THEN FOR FRIDAY, ANOTHER MILD START. WE’LL START OFF SUNNY, SEE MORE CLOUDS. NOT AS HUMID, BUT STILL EXPECT TO GET TEMPERATURES UP AROUND 90. BUT THE EVENING CONTINUES TO TREND DRIER, MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. WE’LL SEE THOSE CHANCES GO UP. SO IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT TO THE HUSKER GAME IN LINCOLN, A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL OBVIOUSLY GOING ON. I THINK WE GET THROUGH A OKAY 80 AT KICKOFF AGAINST ILLINOIS AND STILL IN THE UPPER 70S. JUST A SMALL CHANCE OF A STRAY SHOWER. BUT I THINK WE GET THROUGH ALL RIGHT. BUT LOOK AT THE WEEKEND IMPACT WEATHER, STORMS SATURDAY, SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WE GO FROM 83 ON SATURDAY TO A HIGH OF 68 ON THE FIRST DAY OF FALL. ON SUNDAY. AND THEN COOL FALL W
