180TH STREET, 204TH. IT COULD BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITUATION COMING UP FOR THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. RANDBY FACTOR TIME. ALL RIGHT. TODAY WE CALLED IT ONE OF THE TOP TEN DAYS OF THE YEAR FOR BEING AND WORKING OUTSIDE TOMORROW. I’M GOING TO SAY TWO. I’M NOT GOING TO SAY IT’S A ONE. WE MAY HAVE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS, BUT TEMPERATURES COULD BE AT OR ABOVE FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE EVENT. IT WON’T BE TERRIBLY COLD, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE ROUGH. ROUGH FOR TRAVEL FOR SURE, ESPECIALLY AS YOU GET WEST OF THE METRO LATE TONIGHT. A SHOWER OR STORM MAY BE PRODUCING SOME ISOLATED HAIL TO AN INCH IN DIAMETER. HERE’S THE BLIZZARD WARNING. THIS STARTS AT 4 A.M. AND IT’S IN EFFECT FOR THE METRO AND THE LINCOLN AREA. AND THE HIGH WIND WARNING THAT ALSO STARTS AT 4 A.M. AND THE WINDS HAVE REALLY PICKED UP TONIGHT. HERE’S OUR COMPUTER MODEL, 9:00. MIDNIGHT, 2 A.M. THAT’S OUR CHANCE FOR SEEING A THUNDERSTORM WITH MARGINAL HAIL. THEN THOSE KIND OF MOVE OUT TO THE NORTHEAST AND YOU SEE THE SHOWERS DEVELOP HERE. 6 A.M. CAN YOU BEAT THE SNOW FOR THE MORNING DRIVE? WELL, IF YOU’RE SOUTH OMAHA MAKING IT INTO DOWNTOWN, PROBABLY. THAT’S 8:00. BUT LOOK AT HOW CLOSE THIS IS. THIS LINE OF SNOW BY TEN. SNOWING IN THE METRO. SNOWING IN LINCOLN. LUNCHTIME. SNOWING IN THE METRO. SNOWING IN LINCOLN. 2:00. SNOWING IN THE METRO. SNOWING IN LINCOLN AND THEN STARTING TO EASE BY FOUR AND OUT OF HERE. THAT COMPUTER MODEL AT 830 HAS A 10TH OF AN INCH OF SNOW AT EPPLEY. BUT ALL TOLD, FOUR INCHES BUT SIX IN FREMONT AND ALMOST 11 IN TEKAMAH. THIS IS THE HIGH RESOLUTION RAPID REFRESH, A LITTLE QUICKER ONSET. THIS IS A NEW RUN OF THIS COMPUTER MODEL. NOW 4/10 IN OMAHA AND LINCOLN. AS OF 8 A.M., SO WOULD BE AN IMPACT FOR THE MORNING DRIVE. IT PRODUCES EIGHT IN LINCOLN, FIVE AND A HALF AT EPPLEY, BUT NEARLY TEN IN FREMONT. MORE THAN THAT. COLUMBUS AND YORK. SO I NUDGED THIS 6 TO 12 A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTHWESTWARD. FOLKS OUT HERE IN COLUMBUS, DAVID CITY AND YORK TRUE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. THE WHOLE NINE YARDS QUARTER MILE VISIBILITY OR LESS. HEAVY WET SNOW. POWER OUTAGES. THE METRO, STILL MOSTLY IN THE 3 TO 6, BUT IF YOU’RE IN BELLEVUE AROUND OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, IF YOU’RE DOWN TOWARD GLENWOOD, YOU COULD ONLY HAVE AN INCH OR TWO OF SLUSHY SNOW FROM THIS STORM. 74 TODAY AND 42, THE LOW TEMPERATURE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE OUTSIDE. AND WE NEED MOISTURE. WE’VE HAD LESS THAN HALF THE AVERAGE TO THIS POINT. CHARLES SCHWAB CAMERA, OLD MILL 58. BUT NOW NORTH WIND AT 23, GUSTING TO 37. AND EVERYBODY HAS REALLY COOLED OFF. YOU SEE THE WIND ALREADY BLOWING PRETTY GOOD IN PLATTSMOUTH. ALSO IN LINCOLN AND DEUEL PAUL. WHILE IT’S QUIET NOW, HAS A FEW SHOWERS CREEPING ACROSS THE KANSAS STATE LINE AND INTO SOUTHERN NEBRASKA. HERE’S THE STORM INTO COLORADO AS IT MOVES OUT INTO KANSAS. TOMORROW WE’LL SPIN UP THE RAIN. THE SNOW ON THE BACK SIDE. HERE’S THE HOURLY PLANNER, A TOUGH ONE. THE BLIZZARD WARNING NOW AT 5 A.M., I THINK IT WILL BE RAIN AND MAYBE A LITTLE THUNDER IN THE METRO. BUT AFTER THAT, PARDON ME. SNOW PICKING UP A THUNDERSTORM. CHANCE OVERNIGHT WINDS INCREASING. THEY’VE ALREADY INCREASED A LOT COLDER. MID 30S BY 6 A.M., 34 BY 8 A.M. 32 AT NOONTIME. TRUE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN THE METRO AT THAT TIME AND ESPECIALLY OPEN AREAS OF THE WEST METRO AT AROUND ELKHORN GRETNA. WIND AND SNOW. A SEVERE WINTER WEATHER DAY, THEN MOSTLY SUNNY ON THURSDAY. COLD START AND THERE MAY BE SOME ICY PATCHES OR FROZEN SLUSH TO CLEAN UP, BUT IT WILL DISAPPEAR QUICKLY AS TEMPERATURES MODERATE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. NO 70S, NO 80S,
