Re: 2026 Weather Thread
I am hearing reports of 4+ inches in Fremont. Don't know if those are exaggerated or not, but there was a lot of rain and street flooding here.
At 5 AM, when I left Gretna, visibility was not good for the first half of my drive.
Friends in the Oakand NE area who I know have reported accurate amounts of 2 to 2 1/2 inches in different locations.

Re: 2026 Weather Thread
i don't think i'd be surprised if they did, to be honest with you. I had to pull over on I-80, it was blowing me around and the rain was coming down in sheets. I even took a video, it looked like a hurricane, seriouslynebugeater wrote: Thu Aug 13, 2026 8:48 am I am hearing reports of 4+ inches in Fremont.

They keep saying more storms tonight, but the latest HRRR takes them north of Omaha.

Re: 2026 Weather Thread

I got a little under a tenth from the first round, but more than a quarter inch from the lunchtime downpour.
