~ Wild Weather Tonight! ~

My big brave shih-tzu has not been loving the last 30 minutes of her life! Tornado sirens, booming thunder and lightning, earth shaking wind, and hail pounding the house...she has pooped three times!

I live in west Omaha

1.5"-2" hail at my house.

Saw an awesome wall cloud driving home from work but no tornado.

LOL :biglaugh:

Sorry, scary situation, but that was funny.


Meanwhile, Omaha is not out of the woods just yet. More intense storms coming in from the southwest. The tornadic storm is currently north of Omaha moving northeast towards Missouri Valley.

I don't think it's me you want....hang on, let me get MrsWx....

Crazy storms now in eastern NE. They will probably merge into more of a squall line and race into western IA over the next hour. While there are torn warnings now, our primary threats look to be heavy rain, hail and wind and we might not see them in central IA until after 9pm anyway. I'd say tune into Mac to stay up to date this evening.

 

[cstrunk]

My guess is rain and some wind by about 10 PM in Ames.

Thanks as always!

Also a good idea to dust off the weather radios tonight and make sure you've got everything programmed for the correct counties you want. As has been posted already, the tornado threat is likely at a minimum for central IA, but a good "dress rehearsal" nonetheless.

Speaking of weather radios. Any good ones out there with decent am radio reception.

Yup, that's right.

Just in time to drive to work! Sweet!!!!

There was not enough heating today to sustain those storms intensity.

Thankfully this was the case, because there was a decent amount of other things working in their favor to get nasty.

Pay attention in class like all of us good students do!

 

[CyCrazy]

it will be nothing more than a tstorm
go to weatherunderground.com any local news stations other than channel 5 for the most part are way off. my job constantly revolves around the weather so I look all the time
i would also reccomend NOAA.org for the weather

I wouldn't say thankfully but that's just me...

 

[AntiSnob]

i like thunderstorms but not when my dog is around. She freaks out whenever there is one.
