It’s hot outside and its going to get even hotter! There is a chance of an isolated storm north of HWY 2, but most of the t-storm action and severe weather should remain in the Dakotas Wednesday night.
A cold front moves through the region on Thursday, but all it does is switch the winds to the NE and produce a few clouds. Reasons were not seeing any t-storms is due to warm air aloft. For T-Storms to develop you need warm air at the surface and cold air aloft. Highs Thursday will be in the 90s.
100 degree heat rolls in for Friday right Through Tuesday, Tuesday is also our next chance of Rain.

After 1-2 inches of rain across parts of western Nebraska, a little quieter for our Tuesday night. There is still a chance of a t-storm tonight and most storms should remain below severe limits. Additionally, we could see some patchy fog and lows will be in the lower 60s with winds out of the SSE 5-15.
Wednesday the heat really gets turned up on our area as we sore into the mid to upper 90s. There is a chance of a storm late in the afternoon and evening on Wednesday night, mainly north of HWY 92.
Thursday through Sunday dangerous heat rolls into the area. Highs will be at or over 100 with our next slight chance of rain not coming until Sunday. Please make sure you’re checking up on the elderly and making sure your drinking plenty of water. Also wear light/colored loose fitting clothes.

Scattered T-Storms will continue to move through the area Monday night, severe weather is not forecasted, but one or two maybe capable of large hail and damaging winds. Lows Monday night will be in the upper 60s with winds out of the southeast 5-10.
This T-storm activity Monday night is associated with a system to our north and believe or not the left overs of Hurricane Dolly to the south. Now you know why it feels so tropical across the state.
Tuesday, once again we have a chance of T-Storms and it will be hot with highs in the 90s. And this will be the coolest day of the week, as a ridge of high pressure out west moves east and really cooks us starting Thursday. Highs Thursday through Sunday will be near or above 100 with little or no chance of rain until Monday.

Scattered showers and t-storms currently in the panhandle may move into parts of the sandhills Tuesday night. Widespread severe weather is not expected, but a few storms may be capable of large hail and damaging winds in excess of 60mph. Lows Tuesday Night will once again be mild in the mid to upper 60s.
There is a better chance of T-Storms in our area on Wednesday, the storm prediction center has outline most of the KNOP-TV news 2 viewing in a slight risk of severe weather. The threat will be there for large hail and damaging winds especially after 4pm. Some of us escaped the heat Tuesday, not the case for Wednesday as all us will be in the 90s.
Thursday through Monday there is a chance of T-Storms each day. Highs will be in the 90s and lows in the 60s.

For the most part everyone will stay dry Monday night. It will be warm though with lows only in the mid to upper 60s. There is a very slim chance of T-Storm (less than 20%).
For Tuesday get ready for the heat and plan on it sticking around through the weekend. With highs in the 90s projected through Sunday at least.
There is also a slight chance of a storm again Tuesday night. A better chance of a storm late Wednesday into Thursday as a storm system rolls into the region, then Fri through Sunday there a slim chance of a storm.

Another typical July afternoon shaping up across the area, temperatures Monday afternoon will once again top out in the 90s and 100s.
There is a storm chance tonight, but it’s a slim to none chance. The better forcing (or lift) seems to be in Eastern Nebraska, with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman OK already talking about putting a watch out for the Omaha and Lincoln Areas.
In the tropics, Tropical Storm Dolly is in the southern Gulf Of Mexico and moving north and east and is projected to hit the south Texas coast as a Hurricane by mid-week. Cristobal In the Atlantic will be pushing off to sea.

For the most part dry conditions will continue for Friday evening, giving many of us a chance to dry out. Showers and T-storms will return to the picture tonight, some storms maybe severe, especially in Nebraska as T-storms roll out of South Dakota.
For the weekend, the heat will return and we will also have a chance of showers and t-storms through out the day and night on Saturday and Sunday.
The chance of T-storms continues through out next Monday through Friday. Highs will be in the 90s with lows in the 60s.

A busy day shaping up in the news 2 forecast center. Currently as of 2pm (CDT) here’s how the NWS watches and warnings are shaping up. First and foremost a flash flood warning is in effect for East Custer County until 4:15pm Tuesday. News 2 Trueview Radar has estimated 6 inches of rain east of the Westerville area, with an additional 1-2 inches possible across the warned area. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Custer, Dawson, Frontier, Hayes, Gosper and Lincoln counties through Friday.
A cold front is currently located in northwest Nebraska and central South Dakota. That will be slowly sliding south into the state. Out ahead of the front, showers and t-storms will continue with some being capable of large hail and damaging winds, a brief tornado spin up is not out of the question either. Showers and t-storms will continue into Friday.
Very humid conditions will continue Thursday afternoon, temperatures in the 80s with dewpoints in the 70s.

Scattered showers and t-storms are a pretty good bet for Wednesday night into the overnight. Some storms maybe severe, with threats being large hail, 60mph winds and heavy rain, and a brief tornado spin up is not out of the question.
Last night anywhere from 1 to 6 inches of rain fell in Central Nebraska. And with more rain on the way, the national weather service in Hastings has issued a Flash Flood Watch for Thursday and Friday. In fact some computer models indicated possibly up to 3 inches in some areas.
Strong fronts for this time of year will be pushing into the area on Thursday, T-storms and severe weather are likely. The chance of storms will continue into the weekend. Temperatures will be in the 90s on Thursday, 80s on Friday and then its back into the 90s for the weekend.

Severe T-Storm watch is in effect for most for the KNOP viewing area until midnight (CDT) Tuesday. Showers & T-storms will be possible through the night. Some storms maybe severe with large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain that may lead to flash flooding, severe t-storms also do produce tornados with little or no warning. Lows Tuesday will only be in the upper 60s close to 70.

I could say just look at the blog from Monday because that’s pretty much the same forecast. Temps Tuesday afternoon were pushing well into the 90s across most of the area, with Imperial pushing 100.
Scattered strong to severe t-storms are expected to fire in the late afternoon and early evening. Main threats from these storms will be large hail and damaging winds. An isolated brief tornado can not be ruled out as well.

Severe weather for the most part has ended across the area, will still have the chance of some scattered storms through the overnight with lows near 70. Highs will be well into the 90s Tuesday, there is a chance of storms in the sandhills late Tuesday afternoon and some of those could be severe.

Very hot temperatures will continue Monday afternoon with 90s and 100s across the region. After 4pm (CDT) we run the risk of t-storms developing, especially along a stationary boundary running along Cherry and Brown counties. Some of these storms maybe severe with large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain, a brief tornado spin up is also possible. Scattered T-storms are expected through the overnight on Monday. Isolated severe t-storms are possible, but I think the main threat as we head into the overnight will be the heavy rain.

Sunday we warm back up into the upper 80s and then into the 90s next week. Our next chance of rain does not come until Tuesday.
Have a great weekend everyone,

A warm night is ahead for our area, other than a slight chance for a storm in the panhandle most of us should stay dry with lows in the upper 60s and near 70.
Friday we have a noticeable temperature swing across the state. Highs will be in 80s in northern and northwestern Nebraska to 90s and close to 100 in southern and eastern Nebraska. A cold front will be cutting through the state and with the hot air out in front of it that will be the fuel for the fire for storms, some of those storms maybe severe with the main threats large hail and damaging winds.
Temps behind the front drop for the entire state; a beautiful weekend is on tap with comfortable temperatures and sunshine.

Heads up in southwest Nebraska as one storm is trying to kick up in northeast Colorado. I think it’s going to have a tough time making into Nebraska as we have more stable air overhead.
Go jump in the pool and enjoy this hot summer afternoon.

Scattered T-Storms are expected through Monday evening, some storms maybe severe especially east of North Platte. I think our best chances for storms will be before Midnight. Then for the overnight partly cloudy skies will take hold. Lows will be in low 60s with a variable wind early turning to the south overnight.
Another wave of low pressure moves in from Wyoming Tuesday afternoon. This will bring a chance of scattered t-storms to the panhandle in the afternoon and then to the rest of the area Tuesday evening. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s and lows will be in the upper 50s. Winds will be out the southeast 5-10.
Temperatures start to warm up on Wednesday with highs pushing 90. There will be a slight chance of storms moving in late on Wednesday and lingering on into Thursday morning. Thursday and Friday will be very hot with highs in the mid to upper 90s. Another storm system moves in for the weekend, which will bring us another chance of rain.

Hot conditions are getting ready to invade the state of Nebraska for the 4th of July. Highs will be in the 90s for North Platte and areas west, we run a really slim chance of a storm during the afternoon. Friday night looks great for fireworks, go out and shoot some off and remember safety first. Temps will be in the 60s and 70s with a SE wind 5-15.
Saturday, HOT! Temps should approach 100 over most of the area with 103 not out of the question south of Wallace, a great day to spend at the lake. There is a 20% chance of T-Storms towards Saturday evening.
Better chances of storms Sunday and Monday as a storm system will be moving through the central United States. I hope we get some rain out of this, because after Monday it’s looking very dry and hot.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th!
