Highlights from my walk around Blackstone before the 10: -helped a non-English speaker find the correct apartment door to deliver someone’s Chipotle -heard 2 guys chatting on a bench, one said I was “off to sell a house” and his friend said “nah, dude does weather on channel 6”

I finally dropped “pausa de hidratación” in a forecast today: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GVn8nY/

Ooh, a funnel cloud just southwest of Shenandoah, IA Friday afternoon. These type of funnel clouds are typically harmless. They’re formed by an updraft catching horizontal spin caused by wind shear. (Horses for scale)

Omg that boo-hoo Spain kid after the goal 💀

I’ll continue saying it as another heat dome builds over the middle of the country next week: Heat waves kill more people every year than any other type of weather.

Having a conversation with my (nearly 70 year old) mom, and we’re discussing alternating grips and deadlifting straps.

Neither of these teams has played a game in these conditions yet. The humidity could be an issue for players. And yes, I’m pedantic enough to have the proper shape for the Swiss flag.

When I see someone in Omaha with Wisconsin alumni stuff on their car…

For the “how much rain did we get?” brigade this morning. Here’s a wide shot of the Omaha metro, and a closer view so you can pick out your neighborhood. Generally an inch in the center of the metro, a quarter to a half inch on the edges.

The amount of strength it took for me to not drop “WTF?!” when “go-kart track” popped up on the map tonight…

T-Storm WATCH in effect until midnight. This includes the entire Omaha metro.

T-Storm Watch is possible Wednesday evening. Hail of 1.0-1.5”, wind gusts up to 70mph, and heavy rain are possible. Tornado potential is very low.

When I double tap in the forecast editor and the value maxes out at 150… Hot indeed!

Just had the inspection done on our 100+ year old new house. No significant issues 😭😭😭 Sewer line could be a pain, but that’s to be expected in Omaha.

“…lots of young men in their 20s, living in their parents basement, smoking the weed, looking at the online porn” was a quote we just aired from a local US Rep during his town hall tonight.

I’ll never tire of catching wildlife on cameras.

Another good day for hydrant parties Wednesday! Temperatures climb into the low/mid 90s in the afternoon, and you have plenty of time before the evening storms.

Current temp in Vancouver: 73° Argentina played in a climate controlled dome. Forecast for Saturday evening in KC: Mid 80s and humid with a chance for storms. Weather is gonna play a role.

Surprised the crossbar didn’t snap. My word that was crushed.

An ode to Egyptian soccer youtu.be/KVvO4mPoZiA

If this match goes like the rest of this World Cup, there are 3 more goals coming in the last 10-15 minutes

There’s a kid at the gym doing repeated backflips off a wall into a drag drop. I have so many questions.

Warm, muggy, and light winds. That's a pretty great summer day in Omaha! I can't imagine how packed pools will be Tuesday...and Wednesday. Only a couple chances for rain midweek. You're going to have to hand-water the garden a lot coming up.

4-1 feels about right for this match. But the US team made it fun and exciting for a few weeks.

Oh THAT is a flame out lol omg

Holy moly did Portugal get a LOOK there

Note to self: only show the viewing area map of this on tv. If I was on a CBS affiliate, it would be blurred.

Me: *wearing a SWIFTIE muscle tank, air guitaring to My Brightest Diamond’s “Inside a Boy” between sets* Random nice kid: “Hey, I’m new to the gym, can you show me how to do this?” Guess I’m a personal trainer now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

See, it’s crap like this that makes me wonder how I failed out of combinatorics in college. Oh I was a bad student who didn’t apply himself until after graduating? Ok yeah, that tracks.

bUt SoCcEr Is BoRiNg

This stoppage time goes all the way to 11

This game is WILD

Hooooooo boy that swung fast

lol the Padres manager got tossed 3 pitches into the game. He doesn’t want to miss any action at Azteca.

Noon air quality update: The red is unhealthy air, the orange is poor air that will affect people with chronic heart and lung issues. If that’s you, it would be wise to keep a mask on outside for a few hours.

Air quality is hazardous in Omaha right now. That’s the dark purple dot. The lighter purple is very unhealthy air quality over most of the metro. Limit your time outside Sunday morning until this improves. If you have an N-95 mask, that would be wise. Light wind after fireworks is a bad combo.

lol a fog delay at Wrigley. Weather remains undefeated

Now that everyone is good and lit from day drinking in the heat, time for explosives!

Needed a relaxing lake day real bad. Hope you’re having a great 4th too.

Casually staring out the window, minding my own business, and then it happened. I saw one of the Omaha area POOP houses in the wild for the first time.

The WNBA plug during the hotdog eating competition is sending me 😆

Man, these scattered storms are taking forever to weaken and move south. They will by midday. My apologies to people setting up parades.

If the sky is clear above you, look toward the northern horizon.

Get rekt Doug.

My weather team group chat is complaining about the severe weather crawl that’s on during the World Cup. Not that it’s up, but that it looks terrible and is illegible.

NOT NOW STORMS I HAVE WORLD CUP TO DEAL WITH

NOT NOW WORLD CUP I HAVE STORMS TO DEAL WITH

My husband is at a lake near Valley, and tells me there are still a lot of people on the water. Y'all. I cannot tell you how dangerous that is. Please please please, get off open water if you can hear thunder.

Time to pack it in around the Omaha metro. Even if you’re not seeing rain, the lightning potential is going up around you.

T-Storm WATCH until 11pm Friday evening. Please be ready to get inside in the next few hours (and maybe stay in for a bit)
