Omaha morning weather forecast for Thursday, January 2

THE CHILLY WATER? YEAH. WELL, IMPACTS FOR THE MORNING DRIVE. THE GOOD NEWS IS, MOST OF THE SNOW IS WRAPPING UP IN THE METRO. BUT AGAIN, EVEN AS THE SNOW WRAPS UP, STILL PLAN ON SLOWER TRAVEL HERE THIS MORNING. SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR HERE JUST AFTER 515 SNOW DONE IN OMAHA DOUGLAS COUNTY, BUT STILL SOME BURSTS OF HEAVIER SNOW THERE. BELLEVUE OVER TOWARD THE GLENWOOD AREA AND THEN UP THROUGH TRAINER OAKLAND AVOCA. THAT STRETCH OF I-80 HEADING TOWARD DES MOINES AND THEN STILL UP THROUGH HARLAN. SO CONTINUE TO PUSH OFF TO THE EAST RIGHT NOW. HAD HEAVIER BURSTS OF SNOW UP TOWARD BLAIR AND FORT CALHOUN EARLY THIS MORNING, AND THEN THE BURST THROUGH THE OMAHA METRO. SO REALLY, FROM GLENWOOD, UP THROUGH HARLAN, SEEING SOME OF THE HEAVIEST SNOW RIGHT NOW, THIS WILL QUICKLY PUSH EAST ALONG THE I-80 CORRIDOR TOWARD DES MOINES. HERE, OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, AND STILL A THIN BAND MOVING THROUGH CASS COUNTY, NEBRASKA, HEADING TOWARD NEBRASKA CITY. SO EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE, BUT STILL WET TO SNOW COVERED ROADWAYS. THERE IS A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NORTH OF OMAHA FROM TEKAMAH TOWARD ATLANTIC CARROLL, THE DES MOINES AREA THAT GOES UNTIL NOON, AT LEAST IN OUR VIEWING AREA. AS WE’VE SEEN THE SNOW ALREADY WRAPPING UP HERE IN THE METRO AND WILL PROBABLY BE MOVING OUT OF THE REST OF OUR VIEWING AREA BY AROUND 9:00 THIS MORNING, BASED ON WHAT WE’VE SEEN SO FAR, FORECASTS PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK WITH ANYWHERE FROM A DUSTING TO AN INCH OVER MOST OF THE METRO AREA. HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TOWARD BLAIR FORT CALHOUN TEKAMAH THE HARLAN AREA. IF YOU’RE UP IN ANY OF THOSE SPOTS, FOLKS, TEKAMAH BLAIR HARLAN SEND US YOUR SNOW REPORTS. WE’VE ONLY GOTTEN ONE SO FAR. THAT WAS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OUT IN VALLEY HAD 8/10 OF AN INCH. SO THAT TELLS ME MOST OF US UP TO AN INCH HERE IN OMAHA. BUT AGAIN, STILL GOING TO SEE THOSE IMPACTS FOR THE MORNING DRIVE. SOME OF THE BUSIER STREETS, THE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES LIKELY WET LIKE WE SEE HERE. HIGHWAY 370 72ND STREET. MOST OF THOSE ROADS WERE PRETREATED, SO IT’S WORKING. MOST OF THE ROADS ARE WET HERE, BUT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SIDE STREETS MORE LIKELY A LITTLE SNOW COVERED HERE THIS MORNING. SO STILL PLAN ON SLOWER TRAVEL EARLY ON. THAT’S A LOOK FROM OUR COBALT CREDIT UNION CAMERA AND PAPILLION HIGHWAY 370 OR HIGHWAY 370 AND 72ND STREET. 29 DEGREES AT EPPLEY RIGHT NOW. STILL WITH LIGHT SNOW REPORTED AT THE LAST UPDATE, BUT THE WIND THANKFULLY FAIRLY LIGHT, SO NOT MUCH OF A WIND CHILL FACTOR. MOST TEMPERATURES 20S TO LOW 30S HERE THIS MORNING. YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST EVEN AS THE SNOW WRAPS UP AGAIN, IMPACTS WET TO POSSIBLY SNOW COVERED ROADS FOR YOUR MORNING DRIVE AND THEN SOME PEEKS OF SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON AS WE’LL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S. SO HERE’S STORM PREDICTOR 7:00 AGAIN DONE IN THE METRO. STILL LINGERING. DENNISON CARROLL ATLANTIC BY 9:00. MOST OF THAT PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST. THERE’S NOON STILL CLOUDS HANGING AROUND LOWER 30S IN THE METRO. SOME PEEKS OF AFTERNOON SUNSHINE, LOW TO MID 30S FOR MOST OF THE HIGHS TODAY AROUND THE OMAHA AREA AND STILL PUSHING 40 DOWN TOWARD FALLS CITY AND BEATRICE. NORTH WIND BLOWING, COLDER, AIR STARTING TO MOVE IN TOMORROW. WE’LL SEE CLOUDS INCREASE. MAYBE A FEW FLURRIES SOUTH AND WEST OF US, BUT STRUGGLING TO WARM UP. HIGHS LIKELY IN THE LOW TO MID 20S AND THEN GEARING UP FOR THIS WEEKEND. ALREADY A WINTER STORM WATCH OTOE COUNTY AND SOUTH FAR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. REALLY? NEBRASKA CITY AND SOUTH. EXPECTED TO SEE POTENTIAL HIGHER IMPACTS FROM LATE SATURDAY THROUGH THE DAY ON SUNDAY, WITH A POTENTIAL WINTER STORM MOVING THROUGH. THIS IS AN AREA WIDE STORM PREDICTOR STARTING AT NOON ON SATURDAY. LOOK AS THE LOW DEVELOPS, DEVELOPING HEAVIER SNOW BANDS FAR SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA, NORTHEAST KANSAS, NORTHWEST MISSOURI. SO RIGHT NOW THE TRACK FAVORS HIGHER IMPACTS SOUTH OF THE METRO. BUT WE’LL BE WATCHING BECAUSE IF THAT TRACK MOVES ANY NORTH, THAT COULD PUSH SOME OF THE HIGHER TOTALS TOWARD THE METRO AREA. BUT FARTHER SOUTH WOULD MOVE THE SNOW FARTHER AWAY. SO SOMETHING WE’RE WATCHING FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT AGAIN, IMPACTS THIS MORNING. THERE’S THE SNOW CHANCE SUNDAY AND THEN FOLLOWED BY A BLAST OF
