Dry conditions expected to last through the Labor Day weekend. It will be hot and windy with highs in the 90s Sat, Sun and Mon.

Have a nice and safe weekend.
Thomas

Cool night ahead for the area with clear skies. Lows will be the mid to upper 40s.

Other than a very slim chance of a storm east of Broken Bow Wednesday night, most of us will stay dry. In fact, I think most of us stay dry until Labor Day.

Enjoy,
Thomas

Severe T-Storm Watch is in effect until 11pm (CDT) 10pm (MDT) for Cherry, Grant and Arthur Counties. Scattered T-Storms will be around through the evening, some maybe capable of producing large hail and damaging winds.

I think for the most part 70% will stay dry Monday night, all though I can’t rule out a strong storm rolling through the area. I think our better chances of storms and some severe storms come on Tuesday as a strong cold front for this time of year pushes into Nebraska. T-Storms will move into the area after about 5pm, some storms maybe severe with large hail, damaging winds and possibly an isolated tornado. Lows Monday night will be in the 60s and highs Tuesday will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s. The other story will be the wind Tuesday, winds my gust as high as 35mph at times.

Behind the front is a cooler and less humid day for Wednesday. Highs will only be in the upper 70s. Thursday through Labor Day look great! With sunny skies, highs will be the 80s and lows will be 50s.

Take care,
Thomas

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Custer, Dawson, Frontier, Hayes, Gosper and Lincoln Counties through Friday AM. Showers and T-storms are expected to move back into the area Thursday afternoon. I totally can’t rule out an isolated severe storm. But I think the main threat from any storm will be the heavy rain fall that may lead to flash flooding.

The other noticeable thing Thursday will be the temperatures with mainly cloudy skies; they will only be in the 70s.

Thomas

One round of showers and t-storms for the overnight Wednesday will be moving out, the next will be moving in for Thursday during the early afternoon. Lows will be in the upper 50s and highs will be cooler than Wednesday’s highs, only in the 70s.

Thomas

Severe t-storms will continue to push through the area through Wednesday Night, some storms maybe severe with large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornados.

Thomas

Partly sunny and warm conditions Wednesday afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 80s, scattered t-storms are expected to develop and some maybe severe.

Thomas

Scattered strong to possibly even severe t-storms will continue through the overnight Tuesday. Lows will be in the upper 50s close to 60.

Thomas

Another round of storms are firing up across Central Nebraska. Thankfully though not as wide spread as last night, but a few storms will still remain capable of producing large hail and damaging winds.

Rainy times are ahead, as a cut off low moves into the central plains. A cut off low is a low pressure system that is cut off from the jet stream. Basically that means a chance of rain and sometimes heavy is possible through next week.

Temperatures will be cooler starting Thursday with highs only in the 70s and lows in the 50s.

9:15pm Update, A line of severe t-storms continues to move thorough parts of the KNOP-TV News 2 viewing area, mainly east of HWY 83. This line of storms will be capable of producing damaging winds in excess of 60mph and possibly penny size hail.

Thomas

A Severe T-Storm Watch is in effect until 10pm (CDT) 9pm (MDT). Some storms tonight will be capable of producing large hail and damaging winds in excess of 60mph.

Thomas

Clouds are hanging tough Friday afternoon with temperatures on in the 70s in most locations. There is a few 80s near the South Dakota broader. Another chance of rain rolls back into the forecast later Friday night. Severe weather looks low at this point but heavy rain fall is a possibility. Which is not good news for the North Platte River as it is starting to fall. A Flood Warning remains in effect until further notice for the North Platte River.

Thomas

Mostly clear with some patchy fog. Lows will be in the mid to upper 50s.

Other than a few isolated t-storms in Southwest Nebraska, look for partly cloudy skies with lows in the upper 50s. Friday highs will be in the 80s with partly sunny skies. Our next chance of T-Storms comes after about 8pm Friday night.

Thomas

Scattered T-Storms will become more numerous as we head into the night time hours. Some maybe severe (especially south of I-80) with large hail and damaging winds, the main threat will be heavy rain though.

Thomas

Most everyone will see a quiet Wednesday evening across Greater Nebraska. I did though to be on the safe side put a 20% chance of T-Storms for the evening time frame.

A better chance of T-Storms overnight, especially north of HWY 2, there is a slight chance that some storms maybe severe with heavy rain being the main threat.

Speaking of heavy rain, that’s what we don’t need in North Platte near the North Platte River. A Flood Warning remains in effect as Cody Park is under water by the boat dock. The river is expected to crest at 6.3” feet on Thursday. That’s if we don’t see anymore rain. Unfortunately, we do have a chance of rain in the forecast for Wednesday. Some storms maybe severe with large hail and damaging winds, but I think the main threat will be heavy rain.

Thomas

T-Storms will continue through the overnight on Monday, at times some maybe strong to severe. Lows will be low to mid 60s.

A Flood Warning is in effect for the North Platte River at Cody Park.

Thomas

Get ready for a hot weekend! Lows will be in the low to mid 100s, please take it easy if you will be outside during the hottest part of the day.

Thomas Kippen

Hot stuff Friday afternoon, temps in the 90s and low 100s.
