Freezing Rain Update

CT gave very good detail with the sounding and the type of situation we are in. Not much has changed and the going forecast still looks good. Just a quick update on the advisories and warnings from this evening. Omaha is now under a freezing rain advisory with an ice storm warning just to our north and east. Temperatures will slip just under the freezing mark tonight and back up to 32 on Wednesday. Watch for slick spots to develop on exposed surfaces and untreated surfaces especially later tonight into tomorrow morning. The worst of the weather looks to be north and east of Omaha during this time where temperatures will be a few degrees cooler.

    How do you figure that? Look at rapid wrf and ruc? Spc Meso Hpc too? Your way under. Not flamin wondering.

    Hey N, not sure what you mean? If you mean with the temp, I could see us getting a bit above 32 at times tonight and tomorrow. We are still at 31 as of 9pm and areas north of Omaha are a bit colder. My concern is that we stay near the freezing mark overnight. As far as the warnings and advisories, that is from the wx service.

    Hey steelerfan, soundings can be very confusing…there is a lot of stuff there. CT did a good job explaining the most important part of it for this situation. I think he was trying to keep it as simple as he could.
