Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, September 14, 2025.We wake up today with a weather watch. Meteorologists are telling us to expect some strong evening storms, with the severe risk targeting our area between ten and eleven tonight. There’s a chance for high winds, heavy rain, even quarter-sized hail as a fast-moving cold front sweeps through. Damaging gusts might hit seventy miles per hour, though the threat lessens by midnight. For daytime plans: it’ll be mostly cloudy and mild, but as the sun sets, we recommend securing any outdoor items and staying tuned for local alerts.Turning to breaking news, Omaha’s own Terence Bud Crawford has made global boxing history. On Saturday in Las Vegas, before a record crowd of seventy thousand, he became the first male boxer to claim three unified division titles after defeating Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision. Crawford fought two weight classes up, and the victory adds another chapter to our city’s proud sporting legacy. Chants of Crawford's name echoed in the stadium far from home, reminding us why Omaha is so proud of our hometown hero.On the jobs front, the latest workforce numbers from the Greater Omaha Chamber show unemployment remains steady around three percent, with hiring notably strong in tech and logistics along Dodge Street and by Eppley Airfield. Several local food spots are looking for new staff this week, including Blue Sushi Sake Grill and Speedway Cafe on South 72nd—so if anyone is searching, opportunities are open.Real estate continues its brisk pace. The median home price in the metro sits just under three hundred thousand dollars, and we’re seeing a surge in first-time buyers, especially west of 168th Street. Meanwhile, a new apartment complex broke ground near Aksarben Village, promising more options next spring.City Hall updates include the council approving a new street safety program, with improvements coming to traffic flow along Maple Road and North 30th. This could mean easier commutes and safer crossings for school kids along these stretches. There’s also ongoing talk about expanding recycling pickup, details to be hammered out at the next planning meeting.In community events, the Omaha Jazz Festival is tuning up down in the Old Market this Friday evening, and family movie night returns to Turner Park on Saturday. For younger listeners, Omaha Public Schools celebrated three top finishers in the statewide robotics competition over at Burke High, and Westside’s varsity football team clinched a close win last night against Papillion-La Vista.Sadly, today’s crime report shows three reported car break-ins overnight near 24th and Lake, with one arrest made early this morning after neighbors noticed suspicious activity. Police remind us to keep our vehicles locked and report anything unusual right away.Every day in Omaha brings stories of kindness, and today’s feel-good moment goes out to volunteers from the Benson Community Garden Project, who distributed free fresh produce at the North Omaha Library yesterday, helping nearly a hundred families put healthy food on the table.Thank you for tuning in and being part of our Omaha story.
