FR OM KETV’S WEATHER NOW STORM TEAM. SPOKE METEOROLOGIST BILL RANDBY HERE. I WANTED TO BREAK BACK IN HERE BECAUSE ALL A FLASH FLOOD WARNINGND A THERE’S A FLOOD EMERGENCY IN EFFECT FOR DOWNTOWN OMAHA AND COUNCIL BLUFFS. THAT WAS MAYBE WHY YOUR CELL PHONE REW WENT OFF EVEN THOUGH IT WASLR AEADY A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT, AND IT WAS REISSUING. IT’S A FLOOD EMERGENCY BECAUSE OF THIS KIND OF STUFF YOUEE S THIS CAR RIGHT HERE. THIS WAS ACTUALLY DEEP IN THE WATER ABOUT A HALF HOUR AGO. THE WATER HAS RECEDED SEOM BUT I JUST WATCHED THIS HERE. ISTH IS 480 GOING INTO OMAHA A CAR DROVARE OUND. 1 AND THEN HE GOT STUCK RIGHT HERE. THERE’S STLIL PEOPLETU SCK ON 480 HERE. THIS IS STILL FLOODED ROAAYDW AND SOMEBODY OUT HERE SEARCHING LOOKING AT SOMEF O THESE CARS ARE SUBMERGED ON 480. SO IT’S STILL TOO EARLY TO TRY TO DRIVE THROUGH ANYF O THESE FLOODED AREAS HERE. WE'V’ GOT A FLOOD EMERGENCY, WHICH MEANS OBVIOUSLY S AEVERE SITUATION HERE AND OF COURSE THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING THAT CONTINUES UNTIL 2:30 IN THE MORNING. SO THIS IS OUR CAMERA AT 27TH AND ZOOMED IN TOWARD THAT AREA OF 480 AND IT’S STILL JUST TOO DEEP. TO BE DRIVING THROUGH THAT KIND OF WATER HERE SO BAD SITUATION IN DOWNTOWN OMAHA THE REAT OF RAIN HAS DECREASED HERE. TBU WE STILL HAVE FLOODING AND THE RUNOFF IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO CLEAR ALL SO, NEBRASKA CITY. JUST ABOUT TO GET HIT BY THESE. IS THE FACT THAT WINDSOR ARTHUR PROBABLY GUSTING THROUGH THERE, BUT THIS IS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR THIS SURGING LINE NOW, SO THE STORM THAT IMPACTED OMAHA IS KIND OF JUST SORT OF WEAKENED AND SAT EROV WESTERN POTAWATOMIE COUNTY, BUT NOW THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THAT. ALSO THE LINE THAT WAS SOUTH OF US IS MERGING INTO THIS LINE. SO A WDIN DAMAGE THREAT HERE RIGHT NOW IN NEBRASKA CITY, HAMBURG, IOWA, SIDNEY, IOWA AND DOWN TOWARD AUBURN, NEBRASKA. THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TOACE R SOUTHEASTWARD HERE. SO TTHA IS A SUBSTANTIAL CONCERN WHERE THAT IS DOUGLAS COUNTY MUCH LIGHTER RAIN SARPY COUNTY MOSTLY LIGHT RAIN, NOT MUCH CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STILL A FEW BUT STILL THE STORM IS SITTING OVER. WESTERN COUNCIL BLUFFS WESTERN POTAWATOMY COUNTY IN VERY HEAVY RAIN ON THE PERIPHERY HERE, SO RIGHT THERE POLK COUNTY RAIN AND THEN SITUATION THERE. I THINKOU Y CAN SEE THE WAY THE WIND IS RLLEAY STARTING TO SURGE DOWN INTO NEBRASKA CITY. THIS IS THE VELOCITY MODE OF THE RADAR. AND THEN HERE IN OMAHA THE WINDS ARE LIGHTER AND COMING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST NOW, SO THIS LEADING EDGE, THIS IS WHERE THE BAD WEATHER IS GOING ON HERE OTOE COUNTY INTO FREMONT COUNTY OF IOWA. AGAIN IN OMAHA WINDSOR LIGERHT STARTING TO COME AROUND FROM THE WEST AS THIS STORM HAS SORT OF MOVED OUT OF OMAHA INHE T HAIL POTENTIAL PRETTY WELL GONE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE EVOLUONTI HERE BIG LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING ACROSS, KANSAS. THIS ALMOST STATIONARY LINE OVER THE OMAHA METRO NOW THEY’VE MERGED AND THIS IS COMGIN INTO SOUTHEASTERN, NEBRASKA. SO SEVERE WTHEAER THREAT HERE IN ISTH AREA FAR SOUTHEAST, NEBRASKA NORTHWEST, MISSOURI WHERE THERE’S NOT WATCH IN EFFECT OR A WARNING BUT I THINK THIS STUFF IS GOING TO COME THROUGH THERE AND A PART OF SOUTHWEST IOWA. OUR COMPUTER MODELS INDICATED THAT MAYBE AS THIS GETS FARTHER EAST INTO IOWA AND MISSOURI THE LINE WILL WEAKEN. AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE HEAVY RAINFALL IS KIND OF DROPPING DOWN IN HERE. JUST COLLAPSING SOUTHEASTWARD. SO AGAIN A WIND THREAT. THE HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT IS DIMINISHING OVER OM. BUT THE RUNOFF I MEAN IT’S A HUGE PROBLEM HERE IN OMAHA. WHERE AGAIN THIS UNTIL 10:3 IS A FLOOD EMERGENCY. I KNOW IT SAYS FLASH FLOOD WARNING. THAT’S HOW IT CAME
