It’s Husker Time August 31, 2007

After a couple nice days, things will get a little warmer on Saturday. However, the good news is that it won’t be unbearable.. but maybe just a tad uncomfortable when you’re sitting at Memorial Stadium. If you just dress cool though, you’ll be okay. We’ll see a temp around 84 or so [...]

Wow… This is nice… August 25, 2007

It’s one week until the meteorological Autumn starts (in weather, Fall goes Sept/Oct/Nov and the “official” start of Fall is the Astronomical seasons, which is September 23rd at 5:51am). It definitely felt much more like Autumn today than Summer.. High temps across the area ended up in the upper 70s and lower 80s. [...]

Cool Pics and Sleep August 24, 2007

These are some pretty cool pictures we got from some NewsWatchers…
The first pictures come from Lincoln… and were taken Thursday morning at 10am.
I think it’s a little outflow boundary coming off some of the showers and t’storms in the area. Of course, the clouds are pretty low to the ground…
The second cool pictures come [...]

Wild Weather… August 21, 2007

Last night’s thunderstorms across the city were some of the strongest that we’ve seen in awhile. Winds gusted well above 70mph and after viewing some of the damage… I’d say there were some gusts in the city above 80mph.
The list of severe weather reports is a long one… and some spots that got [...]

A Quick Update August 20, 2007

I’ll do my best to update over the course of the next couple of weeks. Roger is hanging out in the Tropics on his honeymoon, so my schedule is all messed up… so I’ll do my best.
Anyway, after a few showers Sunday afternoon…things have quieted down quite a bit. However, that’s not the [...]
