Not much change in the situation. A cold front will push south of the Omaha metro and stall in northern Kansas/northwest MO on Saturday. At the moment, the...
I think we'll actually get this one away. Looks like we'll have a low overcast which should break up later in the morning. A moderate inversion should keep...
