Hello Everyone,
Tyson Pearsall here giving you an update on when we may see our first snowflakes fall in the Metro. Rain chances (first of all) really increase approaching early Friday AM, then continue throughout the day Friday, into Friday night. The moisture gradient seems to really tighten up as we go north of the Metro (smaller rain accumulations), models tend to agree that the bullseye for bigger rain amounts will line up over SE NE, SW IA, NW MO and NE KS. With that said, rain amounts in the Metro seem to be averaging out in the .75″ to 1.00″ range (this may vary a bit literally from northern portions of Douglas county to southern portions of Sarpy county).
We need the rain, I think precipitation will be appreciated. As for snow, yes, a few wet flakes may fall overnight Friday into Saturday early on. As for accumulating snow, it doesn’t seem real likely in Omaha. A combination of a late event “switch over” and warm ground temperatures are not helping the accumulating snow cause. Some minor accumulations may set up over northeast NE, western IA and northern IA through Saturday afternoon.
Cooler conditions stick around through the first part of next week.
Tyson, glad to see you back doing the weather. Will you be bringing Pearsall’s Pets to KETV? Hope so.
Hello,
I hope to bring Pearsall’s Pets back, I certainly loved doing that. As of now, I am just getting situated in this new position. I still have a few things to learn that are different from what I have been used to the previous 6 years. Stay tuned, I hope to have Pearsall’s Pets in the mix soon.
