Spotty storm chances return to Omaha area later Tuesday
FROM OMAHA’S WEATHER LEADER, METEOROLOGIST LUKE VICKERY WITH YOUR ACCURATE WEATHER NOW FORECAST. WELL, YOU PROBABLY SAW A LOT OF RAIN THIS MORNING, AND IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE WE’RE QUITE COMPLETELY DONE YET, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE THE NORTHERN WEST PORTION OF OUR VIEWING AREA. NORFORK. DOWN TOWARDS COLUMBUS, BUT JUST NORTH OF COLUMBUS. THIS RED BOX HERE, THAT’S ACTUALLY A TORNADO WARNING. AND ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO IT WAS A CONFIRMED TORNADO. SO IT’S JUST A BRIEF LIGHT SPIN UP RIGHT HERE THAT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LITTLE BIT NOW. AND THAT IS IN PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA. THAT’S WHERE THAT TORNADO WARNING IS OUT FOR. AND IT’S GOING NORTH UP TOWARDS THE HUMPHREY AREA AND UP INTO NORFORK. SO IF YOU’RE IN THAT AREA, PROBABLY SAFE TO SAY BE IN THAT TORNADO SAFE PLACE OR MAYBE IN THE BAsem*nT IF YOU CAN. AND I KNOW THAT’S OFF TO THE NORTH AND WEST, BUT THE MAJORITY OF US NOT SEEING THIS KIND OF ACTION, THE SEVERE WEATHER WE HAD THIS MORNING HAS NOW CLEARED OUT FOR MOST OF US. SO AGAIN, NORFOLK DOWN TOWARDS MADISON AND THEN INTO PLATTE COUNTY. THAT’S THE AREA WE’RE CONCERNED ABOUT RIGHT NOW. THE REST OF US WERE KIND OF UNDER THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RIGHT HERE, HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A LULL. SO THERE’S SOME RAIN OUT WEST. A LOT OF THAT SEVERE WEATHER IS ACTUALLY A TORNADO WATCH THAT IS OUT TO THE EAST UNTIL 6 P.M., AND A PORTION OF THAT IS ACTUALLY IN OUR VIEWING AREA. SO AGAIN, THIS IS WHAT WHAT WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT RIGHT NOW. IF YOU’RE IN THE METRO, YOU’RE LIKELY SEEING SOME CLEAR SKIES. SO LET’S LOOK AT THIS WITH STORM PREDICTOR. THE MODELS PICKING UP ON THIS AREA VERY WELL. BUT WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. IT AS IT LIFTING NORTHWARD. SO AROUND 2:00 THE MAJORITY OF THE VIEWING AREA LOOKING DRY. NOW WE’RE GOING TO LOOK OUT WEST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON FOR SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS TO SWING BACK IN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS LOW, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME SHOWERS POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS, ROLL THROUGH AROUND THE THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, MAYBE EVEN 7:00 TIME FRAME. THERE’S 6:00. THIS MODEL ONLY PICKING UP ON A FEW SHOWERS, BUT OTHER OF OUR MODELS PICKING UP ON SOME MORE HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS STILL MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH. BUT I THINK THE MAJORITY OF THE IMPACTS WE SAW WERE THIS MORNING AND WE’RE ON THE LATTER HALF OF THAT NOW. SO HERE’S A LOOK. WE DO HAVE A WIND ADVISORY THAT IS ALSO OUT TILL 7 P.M., 40 TO 50 MILE PER HOUR GUSTS. MOST OF THAT IN IOWA AND NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI. AND AGAIN, IF YOU’RE IN THE METRO RIGHT NOW, YOU’RE NOT EXPERIENCING ANY SEVERE WEATHER. IT’S A BIT BREEZY OUTSIDE, BUT YOU’RE SEEING A LOT OF SUNSHINE. THERE’S THAT SOUTH WIND AT 24MPH. WE’RE AT 73 DEGREES, SO IT’S ANOTHER WARM DAY HERE. AND THERE’S THAT SOUTH BREEZE AGAIN, ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 30MPH. SO IT IS A BIT BREEZY OUTSIDE. WHETHER YOU’RE SEEING THE THUNDERSTORMS OR IT’S JUST CLEAR SKIES, WHICH AGAIN, MOST OF US HAVE THOSE CLEAR SKIES 72 FOR PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA CITY, MOST OF WESTERN IOWA SITTING IN THE 70S AND UPPER 60S. THE SAME FOR EASTERN NEBRASKA. AND YOUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST HERE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. AGAIN, IT’S THE TIME FRAME FROM ABOUT 3 TO 6 P.M. WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOP. BUT AGAIN, THAT SUNSHINE COULD HELP US OUT A LITTLE BIT. BUT IT’S NOT A GUARANTEE THAT ANY OF US SEE THAT THUNDERSTORMS AS WE GO LATER INTO THE AFTERNOON. BUT HERE’S YOUR LOWS FOR TONIGHT. IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER DAY WHERE WE’RE A BIT COMFORTABLE AS WE GET OUT THE DOOR. WE’RE A BIT ABOVE AVERAGE, AND FOR THE AFTERNOON THIS IS MORE ABOUT WHERE WE SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT ABOVE AVERAGE. MAYBE 68 DEGREES FOR THAT HIGH TEMPERATURE. A LOT OF AREAS SOUTH AT I-80 MARK TOMORROW MIGHT GET INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S NORTH OF I-80 INTO THE UPPER 60S. SO HERE’S YOUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST TUESDAY. THAT’S OUR CHANCE OF SHOWERS GIVING IT ABOUT 60, MAYBE 50% ODDS OF SEEING SOME OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS SWING BACK INTO THE VIEWING AREA BY ABOUT. 3 TO 7 P.M. WEDNESDAY. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES OR PARTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVERNIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY, AND WE COOL DOWN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS LOW TOWARDS NEXT WEEKEND.

The Day 1 outlook from the Storm Prediction Center has the "Enhanced" risk area focused in central and eastern Iowa.WATCH: Lightning strikes in Papillion as storms move through NebraskaIn the Omaha metro, we'll likely see clouds clear by noon and sunshine return as the south to southwest wind gusts up to 40 mph as the low pressure system approaches. Temperatures should climb back into the 70s. There is a chance for a few more scattered showers and storms to wrap around into the metro area after 3 p.m. Most storms should remain below the severe threshold, but there could be a few that could produce gusts up to 60 mph. With so much spin in the atmosphere we could see funnels develop as well.Track the weather wherever you are with our Interactive Radar
