A Kind of Active Weather Pattern… November 28, 2008

I say it’s kind of active… because there’s chances for precip and the temperature is a small roller coaster, but there’s really nothing substantial happening. 
I hope you got out and enjoyed the day on Friday, because the weather turned out to be pretty nice.  We didn’t touch 50 like I had hoped… temperatures to our [...]

Still Looking Good… November 25, 2008

Now… we’re not talking “balmy” weather… but things are still looking seasonably mild through Thanksgiving Day.  Our average highs for late November are in the lower 40s… and we’ll be at or above that into the upcoming weekend.  While temps will drop a bit on Saturday and Sunday… with highs in the 30s… it doesn’t [...]

No Turkey of a Forecast November 24, 2008

We ended the weekend on a pleasant (mild) note… with fair skies and highs in the lower 50s.  This next week… while not perfect… doesn’t look too bad either.
Look for our trend of dry weather to continue through (at least) Thanksgiving… with just a slight chance of rain or snow early Friday.  Temperature-wise… we’ll see [...]

A bit warmer… kind of… November 22, 2008

I tell you … the difference clouds make on our temperatures and just basically how it feels out there is quite significant.  Beatrice saw sunshine all day long and saw a high of 52.  In Omaha, we had clouds almost all day long as saw a high of 40.  We got to 40 because we [...]

Done with the cold… for now… November 21, 2008

We made it down to 12 degrees here in Omaha this morning.  That’s cold.  In fact, it’s our coldest temperature in 8 months.  Yikes!  Some spots made it into the single digits, like Columbus and Norfolk which touched 9 and we had a few 7 degree temperatures in Tekamah and Atlantic, Iowa.  The cold spot [...]

A Brief Warm-up November 18, 2008

While we’re starting off Tuesday on a chilly note… with temperatures in the teens and lower 20s across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa… we’ll see milder weather move in over the next 24 to 36 hours.  Look for highs Tuesday to be in the mid 40s… which is around average for mid-November.  Wednesday will be [...]

(Mostly) Cool Week Ahead November 17, 2008

“Average” highs this time of the year run in the upper 40s.  While we’ll generally remain below that for the upcoming week… it won’t be by alot.  Outside of tomorrow and Wednesday (when temps will climb into the upper 40s and 50s)… look for highs in the lower 40s through the next weekend.
Another trend for [...]

Worlds of Fun… November 15, 2008

If you enjoy spending time on roller coasters, this week should be a lot of fun for you.  …  Okay… that’s a stretch, but nonetheless our temperatures are going to be swinging back and forth more than a calculating politician. 
We’ve got a strong northwest flow pattern, meaning our weather is all coming from the northwest.  [...]

Cold Veterans Day November 11, 2008

Yesterday marked our fourth day in a row with highs only in the 30s… and today may be the fifth.  Our average high is around 50 in early November… so that puts us around 10 degrees or so below normal.
Unfortunately… it also looks wet on this Veterans Day.  Fortunately… most of the Veterans Day observances [...]

Chilly Weather Continues… November 10, 2008

After a chilly weekend… with highs in the 30s both Saturday and Sunday… look for only slightly milder temperatures this week.  Our “average” highs this time of year are in the lower 50s… and we’ll be at or below that through the next weekend.
As for precipitation… a storm system that is currently over the 4-corners [...]
