(Late) April Showers April 29, 2009

After a pleasant Tuesday… clouds and rain showers will return this Wednesday.  In fact… we’ll have rain chances through Friday… which isn’t entirely a bad thing.  So far in 2009… we’ve only received 4.23″ of rainfall… which is 2.17″ below average year-to-date.
The upcoming weekend looks much better than the last one… although temperatures will still [...]

Spring Weather… April 27, 2009

What a topsy-turvy weather scenario the past several days!!  Last Thursday… we hit 86 in Omaha… then 89 on Friday.  Those were our warmest temperatures in nearly 8 months (going back to last September 1st).
The weekend?  Let’s just say that it was MUCH colder… by 36 degrees on Saturday… with a high of just 53!  [...]

Weather Notes… April 24, 2009

A quick re-cap on Wednesday… which was terrific… but was not (barely) a Top Ten Day.  As mentioned yesterday… a Top Ten Day has (1) highs in the 70s,  (2) low humidity levels, (3) light winds, and (4) partly to mostly sunny skies.  We had all but #1… as the high temperature reported at Omaha’s [...]

Several Nice Days… April 22, 2009

After a terrific afternoon on Tuesday… where sunny skies produced highs in the upper 60s… get ready for even better weather this Wednesday.  While there will be a few clouds around in the morning… the remainder of the day will be mostly sunny with light winds and low humidity… combined with highs in the upper [...]

Finally… A REAL Warm-Up April 20, 2009

Look for typical late mid to late April temperatures to start this work-week… with highs in the lower to middle 60s on Monday and Tuesday.  Gusty northwest winds will make Monday afternoon feel a little cooler… however.
By Wednesday… a significant warm-up will spread across the area… with highs in the 70s and 80s through the [...]

Quick Post April 17, 2009

Just wanted to give a quick post in reference to the Spring Game on Saturday.
There are rain chances, so a lot of people are wondering what’s going to happen.  I can say with confidence that there will be some rain and at time it could be heavy on Saturday.  What I can’t say with confidence [...]

Above Normal!? When… April 14, 2009

Did you know we have not had an above average day since March 30?  If you’ve been thinking, gosh it’s a cold spring… you would be right.  So far in the month of April we’ve had zero 70 degree days.  (We have had a 70 degree day since March 22nd!)  Out of 13 days in [...]

(More Typical) Spring Weather April 13, 2009

After a cloudy, breezy, and cool start to the work-week… we’ll see milder weather return on Tuesday.  In fact… our highs will be in the 60s through at least Thursday.  By the end of the week… however… a large and slow-moving storm system will usher in cooler air for the weekend and bring rain chances [...]

A Half & Half Weekend April 10, 2009

This weekend will be a little nice and a little not so nice.  Saturday is the nice side.  Unfortunately, for everyone with plans on Easter Sunday, it looks like it could be a little less than desirable.  
First of all, Saturday will be nice with temperatures getting into the 60s for only the third time [...]

Weekend Outlook… April 9, 2009

This Thursday will be one of those cloudy… cooler days fairly common in early April.  We’ll even see periods of sprinkles or light rain… although it looks like any of the steadier rains will be to the south and southwest of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro.  Around Falls City and Maryville (Missouri)… a little snow could [...]
