Omaha. There's a severe thunderstorm warning active right now, and this is only the beginning.
If you haven't left work yet, pay attention to this. Storms were already developing by four p.m., which means the Friday evening commute is directly in the crossfire.
Saturday isn't a recovery day. Another round of storms is expected Saturday afternoon, firing in central Nebraska and tracking toward the metro.
Sunday is the day that's gotten more serious since the first forecasts came out. The tornado possibility was not part of the earlier picture.
On the practical side, Friday started as a record-heat day. Light layers were fine this morning.
The watchpoints heading into the weekend are simple. Friday overnight cluster development.
