Omaha Local Pulse: Storms Ahead, New Businesses Open, Home Prices Rise
Published 13 hours ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, April 26. We kick off with the weather shaping our day, listeners. Thunderstorms rolled west of Omaha last evening, per KETV reports, and were seeing scattered severe storms building this afternoon with a slight risk right here in our area, according to KLKN forecasts. Expect cloudy mornings giving way to highs near 69 degrees, east winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour, and possible golf ball hail, 65 mile per hour gusts, or isolated tornadoes. Plan indoor alternatives for outdoor plans, but we should see sun return by midweek with 70s ahead.
Shifting to city hall, the council greenlit a new bike lane expansion along Saddle Creek Road yesterday, easing commutes for folks heading to Aksarben Village and boosting daily safety for cyclists. On the business front, a fresh coffee shop, Brew Haven, opened its doors on 72nd Street near Oak View Mall, while the old diner at 24th and Leavenworth shutters after 30 years, making room for mixed-use development.
In real estate, median home prices hovered around 285,000 dollars last month, up 4 percent, drawing more families to West Omaha suburbs. Job market stays steady with about 1,200 openings posted on local boards, especially in healthcare at Nebraska Medicine and tech roles downtown.
Sports fans, catch the Omaha Queens and Kings at Baxter Arena today, with mens hockey versus Minnesota Blizzard at 2 p.m. and womens against Kansas Astras at 5 p.m. Local schools shone too, as Burke High clinched a regional track title Friday.
Crime report from the past day stays calm, Omaha Police noting just a minor theft arrest near Eppley Airfield and no major public safety alerts.
Community buzz includes Grace Baptist Churchs uplifting service today on turning adversity into advantage. Looking ahead, join the Earth Day cleanup at Fontenelle Forest tomorrow evening.
