Normal siren test y’all. This is just some rain.

Most of the metro was in the 1.5-3.5” range for rain totals over the last 24 hours. Officially, the airport was over 3”! I’m delighted to see our new house drained well, and the basement is dry. I hope you had our same luck!

Making good on the “you might lose some sleep from thunder” part of my forecast. Locally 2-4” of rain is possible from the south metro to the south and east through Wednesday.

New goal: Fit a Radiohead lyric into every “go eff yourself” response.

I love devoting a solid 45 minutes to an explainer graphic, and when I’m almost at the finish line, I think: “Man, this is awesome…but is it going to suck on tv?”

Midday Tuesday update: The rain has been north of Omaha through most of the morning. We did get that early wake up call around 6am… Expect that rain around Grand Island to reach the metro later this afternoon, most likely starting around 3-4pm

It’s incredible what you can accomplish if you just keep trying in life. There will be failures and setbacks, but if you simply ATTEMPT to do things, it’s a net forward movement. Sitting and lamenting gets you nowhere. Just do.

*extreme Craig Finn voice* OBLITERATE ME WITH A EUCALYPTUS ZAMBONI

Matt Ufford@mattufford.bsky.social · 2d ago

no I don't want a "relaxing" massage. I want my muscles reset to factory settings with a meat tenderizer. obliterate me with a eucalyptus zamboni.

Having my morning coffee, and this falls off the back of a passing truck, right in front of our house. I’m leaving it out there in case they realize it and retrace steps…but I lowkey want it.

This calorie count on a loaded fry appetizer is astounding.

Found the definitive angle.

A lot of new development since the last time I played this hole

Remember all those things you didn't (or couldn't!) do last weekend because it was dangerously hot? Do all of them this weekend. Do them twice if you can.

Within 20 minutes of arriving at work, I was given a bacon cheeseburger and cake. If I look like I’m getting through a food coma at 6, you know why.

Yes, I know parts of the metro got 1-2" of rain last night, but this point still stands. Officially, the rain at Eppley yesterday was about the same amount from the previous 39 days COMBINED. We will stay dry for a few days, and then more welcome rain is possible Tuesday and Wednesday.

Your metro rain reports from last night. Officially, the airport almost got as much rain last night as it had the previous 40 days.

Mid evening severe weather update for Omaha.

T-Storm WATCH in effect until 1am for places west of the Omaha metro

“Oh no, our espresso machine is getting wet!” is not something I ever thought I’d say while at a live shot. At a school supply drive, and a kind old woman dropped off a new espresso machine for late night severe weather coverage 😳😅

The his car just pulled up behind me at the live shot

Out collecting school supplies at 180th & Dodge, and I’m side-eyeing these dark clouds HARD.

Me: Our new neighborhood reminds me so much of where I grew up *looks down* 🤯

Here’s the morning round of scattered storms. Should be crossing the metro from 9-10am

Scattered storms Thursday morning, widespread storms Thursday night. I bet there will be warnings as that line moves into eastern Nebraska. Heavy rain and strong winds would be the main impacts.

Just had a coworker apologize to me because their uncle tried sliding into my DMs. Men on the Internet: undefeated at being awful, regardless of sexuality 

I’ve been in Nebraska for almost 4 months. My acclimation level? I just had in depth conversations about several specific farming families who live in small communities northwest of Omaha.

Watching cumulus clouds grow east of Omaha. A few of these could become downpours, and back into the metro this evening. The closest rain us at the moment is around Missouri Valley and Underwood.

11am update… congrats Sarpy County! Some of you are getting a downpour though midday! It’s always a roll of the dice to see how long the “rain keeps bubbling up to the east” trend continues. Usually it shuts off around noon.
