Bryan1117 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Finally picked up a bit of rainfall with a dying thundershower as it moved into Southwest Omaha (that was severe warned a half hour ago)... maybe picked up 0.10" out of it, however the radar out west shows some hope with more showers and thunderstorms popping up to the east of Grand Island. Fingers crossed we can at least pickup a quarter inch or more of rain tonight as we need it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blew in from Marshalltown probably. Looks like more coming for ya. I'm not to happy (loving the rain though) about the storm here. As feared, things got battered by hail and wind. Got 0.70" more rain earlier this evening. I even got video of a 6" diameter limb breaking off our tree before the rain hit. Hail was half inch diameter or larger. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 I received a solid 1.17" of rain overnight. The heavier rain with the warm advection wing of the MCS was in and out pretty quickly, so it was mostly just several hours of light to moderate rain with an occasional loud crack of thunder. 4 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what you want to do and how much time you have. But some good side trips would be Branson, MO. Corn Palace in Mitchell SD. The Bad Lands, Mount Rushmore, Dead Wood. Devils Tower. That is a far west that I have driven but just some ideas. Have fun on your road trip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabel23 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 On 5/6/2023 at 10:34 PM, Stormy said: I planted on April 12 which was to early even for hardier things. Normally don't plant garden till late April or May so I blame myself. It was just way to chilly for things to rapidly germinate. Once soiI temps are warmer things pop up much sooner. Even with rain later things probably wouldn't have done much better, as cold as it was with frosts. Another thing that was bad was soon after I planted we had a cold rain which is bad for seeds, or at least farmers don't want that happening! A warm rain would've been great. Your seeds may not come through if they haven't yet. I was even dumb enough to plant some beans, and much (not all) of it came up, surprisingly. My onions and radishes I planted about a month ago are looking great! My lettuce I planted on the same day seems like it doesn't want to come up. I planted my potatoes last thursday and the last thing I have are tomatoes and peppers. I want to get those in next week! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next 6 days look mostly warm with highs in the 70’s to around 80 before dropping down to the 60’s on Sunday. The dew points will be low so it will feel cooler than the temperature would indicate.
