Omaha Local Pulse: Spring Storms Clear, Arts and Culture Weekend Ahead
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Friday, April 10th.
We're waking up to some relief after yesterday's severe weather pushed through southeast Nebraska. The Omaha area received beneficial rainfall overnight that's helping our local landscape as we head into spring. If you were watching the skies Thursday evening, you saw some intense activity with large hail and damaging winds across areas like Beatrice and Fairbury between 6 and 11 PM. The good news is that system has moved on, and we're looking at clearing skies as we move through today.
Speaking of weather, today's forecast is looking much calmer. Temperatures will be climbing into the 50s and 60s with lighter winds than we saw earlier in the week. We should have a pretty nice Friday ahead of us. Looking forward, another weather system could bring showers and thunderstorms to eastern Nebraska on Saturday, with rain lingering through Sunday morning before things dry out Sunday afternoon. A strong cold front Monday evening may bring additional storm chances, so keep an eye on the forecast as we head into next week.
Now let's talk about what's happening around the city. City Council has a pre-council meeting scheduled for this morning at 10:30 AM in the Jesse Lowe Conference Room, so if you follow local government, that's worth noting as decisions get made that affect our daily lives here in Omaha.
On the cultural front, we've got some wonderful opportunities coming up this weekend. Omaha Performing Arts is hosting a Free Community Day tomorrow at the Tenaska Center for Arts Engagement from 9 AM to 5 PM. This is a fantastic drop-in event with live performances, bounce houses, food, and a chance to try hands-on instruments with no experience needed. If you register during the event, you'll get 50 percent off upcoming classes. There's also a Hip Hop Lab Block Party and Street Market happening at 7 PM at the Tenaska Center's FNBO Garden.
If you're into theater, mark your calendar for April 17th when the Omaha Community Playhouse opens Dial M for Murder on the Hawkes Mainstage Theater. This modern reimagining of the classic thriller runs through May 10th and promises plenty of suspense and intrigue.
Over in Fremont, the Spring Gallery Walk takes place on April 25th from 11 AM to 3 PM downtown, with 21 participating businesses and more than 30 artists selling their work. There will be live music, performances, and a scavenger hunt to keep things interesting.
