This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and
portions of north central Kansas.
.DAY ONE...Late This Afternoon and Tonight.
South to southwesterly winds will be moderately strong across
especially the eastern half of our area through early this evening,
with counties along and especially east of Highway 281 most favored
to experience sustained speeds of 25 to 35 MPH and gusts up to
around 40 to 45 MPH.
Elevated fire danger remains across much of the area through this
evening, with near-critical to critical fire weather conditions
possible for areas mainly along and west of a line from Greeley to
Kearney Nebraska, to Phillipsburg Kansas. A Red Flag Warning
remains in effect for western areas through 7PM. Please refer to
the latest Warning message for additional information
Anytime after around 7 PM, and lasting through the overnight
hours, most of our area will have at least small chances for
isolated to scattered thunderstorms, but storms will be most
favored within Nebraska counties mainly along and north of
Interstate 80. Primarily between 7 PM and 2 AM, there is a
Marginal Risk that a few storms could be strong to marginally
severe, with the main hazards being hail up to around the size of
quarters, and/or wind gusts to around 60 MPH.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
- Saturday thunderstorm chances:
Saturday daytime and evening, at least spotty thunderstorm
activity will remain possible within much of our area. Severe
storms are not currently anticipated, but a few stronger storms
with small hail and gusty winds cannot be ruled out, especially in
our eastern-most counties near and along Highway 81.
- Limited snow chances Saturday night through Sunday evening:
As colder air moves in, at least small portions of our area could
see a touch of slushy snow at some point between late Saturday
night and Sunday evening. However, at this time, little more than
a dusting of accumulation is anticipated, and most of our area
probably won`t have any at all.
For Monday through Thursday, the overall threat for hazardous
weather currently appears low. However, another strong low
pressure system could bring at least moderately-strong winds and
some thunderstorm potential to our area mainly during the
Tuesday-Tuesday night time frame.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters are encouraged to report any possible hail or damaging
winds that might occur with thunderstorms this evening and
overnight.
