Temperatures currently well below freezing in Omaha. Any drizzle or rain that does fall will turn into ice on untreated surfaces. Not worth being on the roads tonight unless absolutely necessary.

Not a bad Christmas Eve forecast! Watch for patchy fog out west this morning. Anyone traveling early this morning could find some patchy slicks spots in areas of dense fog.

A good weekend to get outside! Keeping the mild temperatures this weekend, but it comes with a strong south breeze and a thicker layer of clouds.

I had a great time G. Stanley Hall Elementary this morning! We talked about the types of weather we experience in all 4 seasons and how to stay safe during severe weather.

Can you guess who we are rooting for...? I'd say we made it real obvious last night as we finished off the 10 PM newscast. Go Chiefs!!!

Buddle Up! If the forecast holds, we will shatter Omaha's record low temperature of -11°. Factor in the very small breeze, we may feel like -25° to -35°.

We've had snow and record breaking cold this week! Now that's all in the rear view mirror as we transition into a more spring like week to close out the month.

Take a good look at the moon tonight! Right near the moon you will see Mars and two twin stars, Pollux and Castor. Warm and even hot air arriving in the next couple days.

Yesterday was a record breaking day with highs in lower 80s. Unfortunately, overnight a cold front dropped in so expecting highs quite a bit cooler today. But hey, we will still be warmer than normal for the time of year!

Don't be surprised if you smell light smoke in the air or see a hazy sky this weekend. Strong south winds tomorrow may drag smoke into Omaha from controlled burns in the Kansas Flint Hills. Here's the latest forecast...

Ever heard of a Rex Block? It's a big reason why our weather has been so pleasant recently! I put together this explainer on Wednesday and the pattern is still locked in now three days later.
