Construction in the Newsplex September 29, 2006

I don’t know if you have ever had to deal with construction at your workplace, but it isn’t much fun. They’re re-wiring some parts of the Newsplex and so they have to drill a new hole through some brick. In response, they have a jackhammer slamming into the wall for the past two hours and [...]

A Top 10 Day in Omaha? September 25, 2006

It was just about perfect on Sunday… but the weather should only get better. It looks like there is a decent chance that Monday could be certified as a Top 10 Day. Of course, that’s not my decision and we won’t know until Monday afternoon. However, we’ll have temperatures in the 70s, low dewpoints, lots [...]

Sunset in LaVista September 23, 2006

Rain & Pictures September 22, 2006

Remember that thing… I think we called it a drought. It’s been a very wet couple of months and while we are still in a dry period, this year is shaping up to be an above normal one for rain. That’s pretty amazing considering we started August about 6 inches below normal! [...]

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Autumn… September 18, 2006

It really wasn’t that bad of a day today. Granted, you definitely need a jacket, but it was pretty nice. I don’t know if you got a chance to see it, but the sky was an amazing shade of blue. Really dark and with the white clouds… it was perfect.
Of course, cool weather in the [...]

That was horrible… September 17, 2006

Last night was by far the worst thing that could have happened. I mentioned yesterday the great balancing act, unfortunately there wasn’t much to balance once a tornado warning was issued for both Douglas and Sarpy county. The possible tornado (with confirmation from the Omaha Fire Dept. in southwest Omaha) was near the 180th and [...]

The Greatest Balancing Act of All Time September 16, 2006

Tonight might become the greatest balancing act of all time.
Life threatening tornadoes versus the biggest game of the Husker season (or the second-biggest… up to you).
Anyway, we’re in the StormCenter twiddling our thumbs right now. We’ve got great instability, great wind shear, and even some surface boundaries in the area. We also have some moisture [...]

Camera in Hand… September 12, 2006

Yesterday I got to go pick up my camera. I’m an amateur, so I don’t really know how everything works. However, I think I’ll quickly pick up on it. I’ve got Wednesday through Friday off, so I’m think I’m going to go around town and experiment. It should be nice sunny days to do that.
Anyway, [...]

Rainy Weather & Bluetooth September 10, 2006

As of Sunday morning, a lot of locations already had over an inch of rain. As of 9am this morning, Omaha had 1.2 inches of rain. There’s a lot of locations across eastern Nebraska that saw over 1 inch. We could see more rain in the afternoon as well, so keep that in mind today [...]

Training September 9, 2006

If you had not heard, weekend morning Meteorologist Chuck McWilliams is in the National Guard. He’s being deployed to Iraq and will be gone at least one year. You can see Chuck’s story here (click on the video links under Troops Deploy under the picture) and please keep him in your thoughts.
We’ve [...]
