OMAHA’S WEATHER LEADER HAS TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT. KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN’S ALEX MCLOON IS LOOKING AT WHAT THE METRO IS DOING TO PROTECT ITS MOST VULNERABLE. JESSICA PEREZ HAS THE CITY’S PLOW PLAN FOR THE SECOND WINTER STORM THIS WEEK. FIRST, I WANT TO GO TO CHIEF METEOROLOGIST BILL RANDBY AND GET THE LATEST TIME LINE. BILL. YEAH, REALLY? BETWEEN NOW AND, SAY, 9:00 TONIGHT, ROB AND JULIE WILL SEE THE SNOW OVERCOME THE DRY AIR AND START FALLING HERE IN OMAHA. IT’S STILL NOT FALLING DOWN TOWN YET. OR ACROSS THE OMAHA METRO. AREA. A LIVE LOOK THERE FROM 27TH DOUGLAS TO THE EAST. THE CLOUDY SKIES, CURRENT TEMPERATURE 12. WE’VE BEEN THERE REALLY ALL AFTERNOON. LOOK AT THE WIND NOW. 21 MILES AN HOUR OUT OF THE NORTH CREATES A WIND CHILL. IT FEELS LIKE OF SEVEN BELOW ZERO. LIVE SUPER DOPPLER SEVEN RADAR. WE SEE THIS A LOT OF TIMES. DRY AIR AT THE SURFACE SHOWS UP LIKE THIS HOLE IN THE PRECIPITATION PATTERN, AND IT JUST MEANS THE SNOW IS FALLING BUT EVAPORATING BEFORE GETTING DOWN TO RADAR LEVEL. OUR COMPUTER MODEL SUGGESTS WE COULD SEE SOME FLURRIES BY 630 8:00, AND THEN BY 830 AND NINE AND 930. ALL OF EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO THE SNOW. AND THEN BY 1030, ALMOST ALL OF WESTERN IOWA INTO THE SNOW. A WINTER STORM WARNING THAT IS A BAD COMBINATION OF SNOW AND WIND AND TERRIBLE DRIVING CONDITIONS. A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR TOMORROW THROUGH CENTRAL IOWA, WHERE THE WIND AND SNOW COULD REALLY CAUSE TRUE WHITEOUT CONDITIONS. AND WE’VE UPPED THIS SNOW BAND AND BROUGHT IT UP OVER THE OMAHA METRO, WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE MANY AREAS WILL SEE BETWEEN SEVEN AND TEN INCHES OF SNOW. IT’S BEEN COLD ALL DAY, AND IT’S JUST IN THE SINGLE DIGITS IN TEKAMAH AND COLUMBUS. AND WITH THE NORTH BREEZE, THAT AIR HAS STUCK AROUND THE WINDCHILL ALREADY. TEN BELOW IN TEKAMAH AND 13 BELOW IN COLUMBUS, AND SEE THE SNOW OUT TO THE WEST OF US. AND IT’S COMING THIS EVENING. HEAVY SNOW OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY AND SEVERE COLD WIND CHILLS OF 30 AND 35 BELOW ZERO AT TIMES. SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY. HERE’S THE 12 HOUR. IT WILL BE SOMEWHAT DISRUPTIVE WITH TIME THIS EVENING THEN TRULY SEVERE FOR BEING OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT
