OPPD crews respond to power outages across Nebraska as severe storms roll through, 450 customers still without power
COVER. LUKE I KNOW THE BIGGEST STORM THREAT IS BASICALLY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY FOR US NOW, BUT NOW WE’RE LOOKING AT HEAT. YEAH, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE FOR FATHER’S DAY. TOMORROW IS A LOT OF WARM WEATHER, SO THANKFULLY STORMS ARE PRETTY MUCH OUT OF HERE. THE SEVERE THREAT LOOKS LIKE IT’S PRETTY MUCH OUT OF HERE, SO NOT MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL, HAIL, WIND, OR ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT COME ALONG WITH SEVERE STORMS. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE STORM REPORTS, GIVING YOU A LITTLE RECAP OF WHAT WE SAW AND AGAIN, WHERE IT SAYS LAST NIGHT’S DERECHO. JUST DISREGARD THAT. THIS WAS TODAY. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU CAN SEE A FEW TORNADO REPORTS HERE, SOME IN MADISON COUNTY, A FEW IN STANTON COUNTY AS WELL, AND WE ACTUALLY HAD SOME CUMING COUNTY AS WELL ALONG THOSE AREAS. AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT WAS KIND OF DOWN MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH, MOSTLY WIND REPORTS WITH THIS BECAUSE IT ORGANIZED INTO A LINE FAIRLY QUICKLY, AND YOU GET LESS TORNADO REPORTS, MORE WIND REPORTS WITH THAT KIND OF SETUP. BUT THESE STORMS PRODUCED A LOT OF RAIN. AND AGAIN, THEY KIND OF SEPARATED THEMSELVES AS THEY BOTH TRACKED EASTWARD. SO IT KEPT THE METRO OUT OF HARM’S WAY. FOR THE MOST PART. WE’RE STILL UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THAT’S OUT UNTIL 2 A.M., BUT AGAIN, IT LOOKS LIKE FOR THE MOST PART, WE’RE REALLY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM AND WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT. A LOT OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IN HERE. IF WE ZOOM IN MORE TO THE NORTH, ACTUALLY SEEING A BIT OF HEAVY RAINFALL HERE TOWARDS OTTUMWA, MOVING TOWARDS DENISON, AND THAT’S KIND OF THAT NORTHERN SYSTEM, WHAT’S LEFT OF THAT SOUTHERN SYSTEM IS STILL DOWN HERE, JUST PAST MARYVILLE THAT’S MOVING TOWARDS GRANT CITY. BEDFORD GETTING SOME HEAVY RAIN AND THAT WILL CONTINUE PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST AND QUICKLY EXITING OUR VIEWING AREA. SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LOOK AT WHAT STORM PREDICTOR LOOKS LIKE. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT PICKS UP ON THE STORMS FAIRLY WELL. THAT’S WHAT IT THINKS AT 10 P.M. 11 P.M. THEY’RE ALMOST OUT OF HERE. AND AGAIN, WE’RE REALLY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS THING. BY MIDNIGHT, A FEW SHOWERS POPPING UP TO OUR SOUTH THAT WILL ELEVATE NORTHWARD. THESE DO NOT LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE SEVERE. THAT’S 1 A.M. THERE’S 330, AND THEN THEY’RE OUT OF HERE BY TOMORROW MORNING. AND WE’RE LEFT WITH SUNSHINE TO START YOUR SUNDAY. SO SUNDAY AGAIN. IT’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY GOOD DAY. IT’S GOING TO BE QUITE WARM OUT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW WE’RE STILL AT 68 DEGREES. THE WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH AT 15MPH, DEW POINTS A LITTLE HIGH AS WELL. GOING TO FEEL MUGGY IF YOU STEPPED OUT THE DOOR RIGHT NOW. TEMPERATURES SITTING IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S IN MOST AREAS. SO TEMPERATURE WISE YOU CAN CONSIDER THAT PRETTY COMFORTABLE OUTSIDE BY TOMORROW MORNING. LOOK HOW WARM WE START. WE COULD START, YOU KNOW, UPPER 60S, LOW 70S IN SOME AREAS WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LOOK AT THAT WARM HIGH TEMPERATURE, LOTS OF SUNNY SKIES AND A HIGH TEMPERATURE GETTING UP INTO THE UPPER 90S COULD SEE HEAT INDICES CLOSE TO THAT 100 DEGREE MARK. SO STAY HYDRATED IF YOU’RE OUT FOR FATHER’S DAY TOMORROW, WE CONTINUE WITH THE HEAT ON MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY MORE SO OUR NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. TEMPERATURES DROP A LITTLE BIT FOR WEDNESDAY. WE’RE DOWN TO 80, WHICH WILL FEEL LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF COMPARED TO WHAT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE FOR FATHER’S DAY AND MONDAY. BUT AS WE WORK TOWARDS NEXT WEEKEND, WE KIND OF JUST BUMP THE TEMPERATURES BACK UP AND WE GET CLOSE TO THAT 90 DEGREE MARK. SO YET AGAIN, WE’RE GOING TO BE HOT OUTSIDE. SO ENJOY FATHER’S DAY, ENJOY THE HEAT, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN STAY AWAY FROM STORM CHANCES AS MUCH AS WE CAN. CONSIDERING SOME OF THE STORMS WE HAD THIS EVENING. YOU KNOW THOUGH, LUKE, IT’
