Winter Storm Arrives, Tyson Plant Closure, Union Omaha Stadium Groundbreaking, Buffett's Final Letter
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Friday, November 28th, 2025.
We're waking up to a significant weather alert this morning as a major winter storm system moves into our region. A winter storm watch is now in effect for far eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa from this evening through Saturday night. Here's what we need to know. Light snow and mix is possible this afternoon, mainly on the Iowa side of the river, but the real action arrives tonight and Saturday. We're expecting a rain and snow mix Saturday morning with a changeover to all snow as the day progresses. The Omaha metro is looking at around five inches of snow, while areas in western Iowa could see eight to twelve inches. Wind gusts of thirty to forty miles per hour will make travel extremely difficult, so if you have weekend plans, Saturday might be a day to reconsider. Temperatures today will top out around thirty-three degrees, so bundle up out there.
On the business front, there's significant news affecting Nebraska's economy. Tyson Foods announced it's closing its beef processing plant in Lexington, which employs roughly thirty-two hundred people in a town of eleven thousand residents. The plant currently processes about five thousand head of cattle daily. Tyson also plans to cut one shift at its Amarillo, Texas facility, reducing nationwide beef processing capacity by seven to nine percent. Economists say this could eventually push beef prices even higher in grocery stores, though we may not see immediate changes since cattle already prepared for slaughter will still be processed.
Over at Union Omaha, there's exciting news for soccer fans. The club announced plans to break ground on a new stadium in 2026, with the venue opening in 2028. This project represents a major investment in our downtown sports landscape and follows city council approval of a land purchase agreement with Union Pacific Railroad.
In a historic moment for the investment world, Warren Buffett released what he's calling his final annual letter as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. The ninety-five-year-old Oracle of Omaha confirmed that Greg Abel will take over the company at year-end. In the letter, Buffett also donated approximately one point three five billion dollars to family foundations, continuing his pledge to give away ninety-nine percent of his net worth to philanthropy. He'll still share annual Thanksgiving messages with shareholders, but the legendary shareholder meetings and detailed annual reports are coming to an end after sixty plus years.
In sports, the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders defeated the Waterloo Black Hawks five to one on Thanksgiving, with Connor Davis scoring two goals in the win.
Weather-wise, today stays relatively dry until this evening with highs in the mid-thirties. Tomorrow brings that winter storm, and Sunday looks cold and partly sunny with a high around twenty-one degrees.
