When Friday is a Monday June 30, 2006

It’s a strange thing when your weekend is a Wednesday and Thursday and you come back to work on a Friday. In the end, it’s like your Friday is your Monday. (Very confusing, but I think you get the point.) Well, everyone is all excited and cheerful because they don’t have to work tomorrow and [...]

"Dented beer cans on moving motorcycle" June 28, 2006

Okay… I tried to explain this during the 5pm news and failed horribly and went over my time limit by 40 seconds. (oops.) Anyway, in this venue I have a little more ability to explain what I was trying to say. I’m sure if you watched at 5, you were probably like, “What the heck [...]

Another Day, Another Forecast June 27, 2006

I got made fun of yesterday by a producer here because of my laconic post from Sunday. If there’s nothing to talk about… there’s nothing to talk about. At least that was my argument to her yesterday.
Therefore, in an effort to appease her tonight (she’s producing the 10pm newscast), I thought I’d better give a [...]

Sunday Sunday June 26, 2006

Don’t have much to post about tonight. The weather is very quiet this evening and should be for the next week. It’s going to be a beautiful Monday though, so get out and enjoy it. I get the lucky draw to do tomorrow’s weather on the evening shows. I’ll have some nice weather to talk [...]

Severe Weather in the Metro June 25, 2006

Once again, a ton of stuff going on in the Omaha Metro and once again mother nature tries to spoil the fun. A quick moving thunderstorm moved southeast across the Omaha Metro prompting thunderstorm warnings in Douglas and Sarpy counties. The College World Series, Shakespeare on the Green, and an outdoor concert at the Village [...]

Busy Days June 20, 2006

I was trying to figure out what I should post about and I just don’t know. It’s been a busy couple of days. First of all, more religious art was stolen yesterday from another church. Second, the weather (potential for bad weather tonight). Third, I emceed an event for “Kids Can!”. Finally, a sad story [...]

Damage Report June 19, 2006

We did get one report of damage from that storm last night. I got an email from a resident near Manley, Nebraska. He reported damage to a horse barn, a combine tipped over, and many tree limbs blown down. Local law enforcement also reported telephone poles snapped. This was around 7:30pm. [...]

What Pressure! June 18, 2006

Saturday certainly was a day with a lot of pressure and from multiple sources to boot.
Of course, you’ve got over 15000 fans at Rosenblatt for the College World Series, so the field manager of the stadium was calling to get the latest forecast. There were over 10,000 people were outside at Memorial Park, so the [...]

Where’s the Rain? June 17, 2006

The question that everyone is asking this morning is “Where was that rain?” From a meteorological perspective, it’s all very disappointing. Sioux City got over 2.5 inches and even Lincoln picked up just over a third of an inch. Omaha? Nothing. There’s another chance of seeing some thunderstorms develop today [...]

The Rain Will Wait June 16, 2006

The good news, the rain will definitely not impact the first game of the CWS. The bad news? A decent chance that the rain might come down during the second game… especially in the later parts of the game.
Severe weather is still a slight possibility. There’s a severe thunderstorm watch [...]
