GRAB THE SUNNIES. 77 RIGHT NOW. OMAHA RED OAK AS WELL AS NORFOLK 78 CURRENTLY IN LINCOLN. WITH THOSE WINDS REALLY GUSTING. SEEING THOSE SUSTAINED 20 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR.

THAT NOW IN EFFECT FOR ALL COUNTIES HERE IN THE PINK, INCLUDING LINCOLN, OMAHA, DOWN THROUGH BEATRICE, RICHARDSON COUNTY, AS WELL AS FAR WESTERN IOWA, POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY INCLUDED UNTIL 8 P.M. AVOID ANY BURNING DOUGLAS COUNTY NOW ALSO UNDER THAT BURN BAN. LIVE SUPER DOPPLER WITH OUR THREE-MINUTE ADVANTAGE. WE’RE KEEPING IT QUIET OUTSIDE OF THE WIND AND FIRE CONDITIONS HERE TODAY.

NEITHER OF THESE INCLUDE OMAHA OR LINCOLN WEEKEND, THOUGH LOOKING DREARY, SEEING IMPACT WEATHER BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR RAIN AND STORM CHANCES. 65. SATURDAY 45. YOUR HIGH FOR SUNDAY.
