Looks like a nice squall line in central KS at this time.

Yeah, it extends up to the southern areas of the Omaha metro area (where I live). It gets a little mushy up this way, and as of this writing, no warnings on this line for about an hour and a half. Very close to going severe, though. Marble size hail and winds to 50 mph are likely.

I see your sig says "Light Rain" for Omaha. How is it in your neck of the woods though?

:eek:

The Omaha Int'l Airport is located in northeast Omaha, so when the 7pm conditions arrive, you will see something different.
