Cold July Night Ahead

Lows will be in the 40s which is a solid 10 dregees below normal for this of year. Thursday's highs rebound nicely into the 70s and then the heat and storms return for Friday.

Take Care,
Thomas

A Rainy Wednesday

Rain, heavy at times will be affecting Nebraska for the day time on Wednesday. There is a little risk of severe weather but I think most storms will stay below severe levels. Highs will be cool and only in the 60s and 70s. And then we really cool off on Wednesday night and we wake up to lows in 40s on Thursday AM.

Thomas

Rainy Monday

At least it wasn't Sunday. But there is a chance of showers and storms for the rest of the day Monday. Some storms maybe severe later Monday afternoon and Monday Night.

Thomas

Dry Saturday...

Looking for dry conditons on Saturday with highs in the 80s. Next chance of storms doesn't come until late Sunday Afternoon.

Thomas

After a Wednesday of severe wind and hail, Thursday will brings us another round. Tuesday AM lows will be in the upper 50s with highs in the lower to middle 90s. I am expecting the storms to fire after 4pm Thursday

Thomas

Nice Night!

Beauiful evening ahead for our Tuesday. Dry conditons with temps in the 70s! Chance of storms return by day break Wednesday. The heat also returns on Wednesday.

Severe Weather Update...

I'm with everyone who has had a lack of sleep the last couple of nights. Talk about some awaking booms!

Friday mornings/early afternoon storms have moved into Kansas, I think we catch a slight break for the afternoon, then I am watching storms starting to fire on the front range of WY and CO. These could be an issue espeically west of North Platte as we head into the later afternoon adn early evening.

Stay tuned to News 2 for the latest weather updates.

Thursday Evening

Dry and cool evening ahead with lows in the 50s. Highs tomorrow will be back in the 80s. There is a chance of t-storms Friday Afternoon with some storms on the severe side.

Thomas

Overnight Forecast...

Showers & T-Storms are possible after midnight. Lows by Thursday AM will be in the 60s.

Thomas

Dry Evening...

You're evening forecast looks dry and no outdoor issues are expected. Overnight through Thursday AM is when we run the risk of some showers and t-storms. T-Storms will contiune into the day time on Thursday. Lows Thursday night will be in the upper 50s and lower 60s. Highs Thursday with the clouds and storms will only be in the 80s. Some storms maybe severe on Thursday.


Thomas

Evening Forecast

Partly Sunny skies will be with us Wednesday Evening. Temps will be in the 70s and 80s with winds turning to the southeast. There is a slight chance of a t-storm after sunset. More to come tonight on News 2.

Thomas

Nice Summer Day

I can't remember the last time I was on here and not talking about severe weather, but that's the case Tuesday Evening. Temps will be falling into the 70s and 80s Tuesday Evening. Then into the 50s for the overnight.

Our next chance of storms comes late Wednesday and I'll explain on News 2 Tonight.

Have and nice afternoon and evening!
Thomas

Overnight Weather...

The greatest threat for showers and t-storms looks to be east of HWY 83 for the overnight Monday. Some storms maybe capable of producing large hail and damaging winds. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out, but I think the threat of that is starting to die off. Lows for the overnight will be in the 60s with winds turning to the NNW by Tuesday AM.

Tuesday looks nice, one of the nicest days we have had all summer in my thoughts. Highs will be in the 80s with a dry NNW wind at 10-20. Dewpoints will be lower than that have been in the last couple of weeks. Dewpoint measures how humid it is outside, and it doesn't look like they will be that high on Tuesday.

The stickyness returns on Wednesday with a southeast flow, that will also return our chances of showers and t-storms and those chances will remain with us through the weekend.

Heat & Storms

3pm (CDT) Update...

Temps a little lower than expected Monday afternoon. Only in the lower to middle 80s at this point. Scattered cloud cover playing a little roll in that I believe.

Watching out west on the Front Range and the Eastern Plains of Colorado for storms to get going, in fact severe t-storm watches are up in that region. I'm looking for some storms to move into Nebraska. There is a chance some of those could be severe, especially southwest of North Platte.

Stay tuned to News 2 for the latest weather updates and hope to see you tonight on News 2.
