Good evening everyone,
Today was a rather strange weather day. Thunderstorms formed right over the city around 1 PM, dumping very heavy rain in spots. While some of us had the heavy rain, others were left with just a few light showers. This is very related to what happened last Wednesday, with a few differences to end up with very different results. The early afternoon disturbance stablized the surface layer of the atmosphere. If it were still 86 degrees outside at 5 PM, then the complex of thunderstorms wouldn't have fallen apart. There is one area of thunderstorms well to the south, and a line in southeast Nebraska that still need to be watched. Jeff Penner is just mumbling, unbelievable (several times), because he is going to need to water his lawn, which probably only had under 1/4 inch.
We will have an update at 6 PM. And, then the new data will be here for the 10 PM newscast.
Have a great evening.
