Omaha Local Pulse: Spring Storms, Housing Boom, and Weekend Fun
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Thursday, April 16. We kick off with the weather shaping our day. Spotty storms bubbled up overnight from the Kansas Nebraska border, bringing isolated hail pockets to the Omaha metro, but they cleared by morning. Expect partly sunny skies today with highs around 75 degrees and southwest winds at 15 to 25 miles per hour. Those winds could whip up scattered strong storms this afternoon from 2 to 9 p.m., packing large hail and damaging gusts, so we stay cautious for outdoor plans around Heartland of America Park or along the riverfront. Thursday brings dry, sunny warmth in the mid 80s, but brace for windy Friday storms and a cold snap this weekend dipping to the 30s with possible frost.
In breaking news, City Hall approved a key zoning change yesterday for the downtown revitalization near 16th and Farnam, speeding up mixed use developments thatll add about 500 affordable units over the next two years, easing our housing crunch. Real estate stays hot with median home prices up 8 percent to around 320000 dollars year over year, per local MLS data, while jobs report about 1200 new openings in healthcare and tech at firms like Union Pacific and CHI Health.
New business buzz includes the fresh opening of a craft brewery on Leavenworth Street in Benson, drawing crowds already, and Swing and Sparkle tonight at Joslyn Castle on Davenport Street, an 8 p.m. dance event we cant wait for.
On the crime front, Omaha Police report a sensitive incident overnight a robbery with minor injuries near 24th and Ames, leading to one arrest, and a public safety alert for vehicle break ins around Midtowns Turner Park stay vigilant with valuables.
Local sports shine with Creighton Bluejays mens soccer clinching a conference win Tuesday, and high school track stars from Burke High setting records at the city meet.
