Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible tonight, with the greatest severe weather threat across southwest into south-central Nebraska. Storms may begin developing across the Nebraska Panhandle and northeastern Colorado early to mid evening before gradually moving east-southeast through the night. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats, with heavy rainfall and an isolated tornado also possible. The main timeframe for thunderstorms will be from 7 PM tonight through 5 AM Wednesday. Stay weather aware tonight and have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially if you are heading to bed before storms arrive.
