Omaha-area schools, businesses close, change schedules due to snow, winter storm

LET’S GO TO BILL NOW WITH THE WEATHER CLARKSON ROB IT IS RANDBY FACTOR TIME THIS EVENING GETS A RANDBY FACTOR OF THREE. IT’S GOING TO GET NASTY. THE ROADS ARE CURRENTLY JUST WET IN OMAHA, BUT WEST OF TOWN THERE’S BEEN A LOT HEAVIER SNOW THAN WE’VE SEEN HERE IN OMAHA. THIS IS OUR PROJECTION OF FORECAST TOTALS THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. AND WE SHOW A MAP LIKE THIS. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT IF WE DON’T GET TEN INCHES OF SNOW, THEY FEEL LIKE THE FORECAST WAS A FAILURE. WELL, THAT’S NOT REALLY THE CASE. THERE ARE SOME AREAS OUT HERE THEY’RE GOING TO WIND UP WITH TEN INCHES OF SNOW BETWEEN NORFORK AND WEST POINT, AND ALSO OUT HERE BETWEEN DAVID CITY, SEWARD AND BEATRICE. HERE IN THE OMAHA METRO, WE’RE PROBABLY AT LEAST EPPLEY AIRFIELD IS MOST LIKELY TO WIND UP WITH A TOTAL AROUND 3 OR 4IN JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE ROADS ARE WARMER AND THE PAVEMENT AND EVERYTHING SURROUNDING THE CITY KEEPS A LITTLE BIT WARMER STILL, THERE IS A WINTER STORM WARNING AREA WIDE THROUGH NOON TOMORROW IN A BLIZZARD WARNING DOWN HERE IN SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. HERE’S OUR LATEST COMPUTER MODEL SHOWING YOU THE TEMPERATURES AND ALSO THE FORECAST FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE A LITTLE MIX HERE OVER WESTERN IOWA. THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS THE TOTALS ARE GOING TO BE LIGHTER THERE THAN WEST OF US. BUT THE TEMPERATURE IS STILL ABOVE FREEZING 6:00 730 AND THEN BY NINE. SO THE SUN SETS. WE START TO GET A LITTLE MORE OF A NORTHEAST BREEZE. THE TEMPERATURE STARTS FALLING, SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE MORE IN THE OMAHA METRO. THERE’S 9:00 AS WE GO THROUGH 10:00 1130. THE RATE OF SNOW WILL DIMINISH BEYOND MIDNIGHT, BUT THE TEMPERATURE WILL BE WILL BE BELOW FREEZING. THE WINDS ARE GOING TO BE VERY STRONG LATER ON TONIGHT, AND STILL SOME BANDS OF SNOW IN HERE THROUGH EARLY TOMORROW, MAYBE EVEN UP TO RUSH HOUR. AND BY THAT TIME, TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE MID 20S, THEN LOWER 20S BY LUNCHTIME TOMORROW. SO WE’LL GET ICY. ANYTHING THAT’S NOT TREATED, THE WIND WILL BE STRONG. THEY’LL BE BLOWING SNOW, RAIN, REAL ISSUES TOMORROW MORNING. I KNOW IT’S JUST WET FOR THE MAIN ROADS AROUND OMAHA AND EVEN LINCOLN RIGHT NOW. 34 AND 29. TODAY’S HIGH AND LOW, AND SO FAR IT’S ONLY BEEN A 10TH OF AN INCH OF MOISTURE, WHICH HAS BEEN MOSTLY MELTED SNOW IN OMAHA. THERE’S THE WEST DODGE EXPRESSWAY SNOWING, BUT MELTING. 34 AT EPPLEY EAST BREEZE, 16MPH. TEMPERATURES 34 COUNTS OF BLUFFS 35. BELLEVUE 33. MILLARD 34. IN LINCOLN, BUT 31 IN COLUMBUS AND NORFOLK. AND THEY HAVE A NORTH WIND, SO IT’S COLDER. THE SNOW HAS BEEN STICKING OUT THERE, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE THREE FOUR HOURS BEFORE WE GET A LITTLE NORTHEAST, AND THEN MAYBE SIX HOURS UNTIL WE GET A NORTH BREEZE IN OMAHA. THAT’S WHEN OUR PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO MORE OF A STICKING SNOW, AND PROBABLY A BLOWING SNOW SITUATION LATER ON TONIGHT, YOU SEE THE SNOW WRAPPING UP HERE, A LITTLE BIT OF DRIER AIR IN SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA, BUT STILL THE SNOW IN KANSAS AND NEBRASKA WILL FILL BACK IN AND PUSH ACROSS THE OMAHA METRO SNOW. MOST MOST AREAS BETWEEN 2 AND 5IN ADDITIONAL FROM THIS POINT. WINDY LATE TONIGHT, BLOWING SNOW 24 DEGREES. OUR LOW TEMPERATURE 25 AT 8 A.M. FALLING TEMPERATURES BUT BLOWING SNOW. A PROBLEM THROUGH THE MORNING. EVEN THOUGH WE’LL GET SOME SUNSHINE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. A VERY ROUGH MORNING. PARTLY CLOUDY WEDNESDAY. IT NOW APPEARS THAT THERE’S ANOTHER SURGE OF COLD AIR AND ANOTHER CHANCE OF SOME ACCUMULATION OF SNOW BETWEEN THURSDAY THURSDAY NIGHT, FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT, WHICH COULD BE A FEW INCHES, BUT ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY A REAL, REAL PORSCHE
