Scattered showers and t-storms by this afternoon with temps in the upper 80s and lower 90s

Friday Forecast

Thursday Evening Forecast

Scattered T-Storms will once agian dot the Nebraska landscape Thursday Evening and Night. Isolated severe storms are possible but I think with the slow movement of the storms the bigger threat is going to be the heavy rainfall. Temps will be in the 80s with a breezy south to southwest wind 15mph and at times gusting to 30mph.

Thomas

Thursday Forecast

I could have copied and pasted Wednesday forecast because it's pretty much going to be the same song and dance on Thursday. First will address the heat. Highs out ahead of the dryline which will be set up somewhere in the Panhandle will be in the 90s, also ahead of that dryline it will be humid. Behind the dryline it will be hot and dry with highs close to 100 in the Panhandle.

As for storms I am looking for scattered t-storms to develop after 3pm like Wednesday. Some storms maybe severe with large hail and damaging winds possibly.

The weekend is looking wet and starting Sunday cooler.

Have a great Thursday
Thomas

It's a HOT ONE!

Temps have soared into the upper 80s and lower 90s east of HWY 61 along with very humid conditions. West of HWY 61 temps have soared well into the 90s. Roughly right along HWY 61 is where the dryline is located. And east of this location is where I am expecting showers and t-storms to fire Wednesday Afternoon and Evening. There is an isolated chance that some of these storms maybe severe with large hail and damaging winds.


Stay Cool!
Thomas

Wednesday Forecast

Looking at almost the same set up as Tuesday for Wednesday's forecast with hot conditons and a chance of storms. High's on Wednesday will be in the low 90s across the Platte River Valley points South and East. Low to mid 90s for the Sandhills and Upper 90s and close to 100 for the panhandle behind the dry line.

As for storms, I think the dry line around 3pm is going to be lying around Hay Springs to Big Springs. East of there that is you're best chance of t-storms. At this time I don't believe the atmosphere is good enough for severe weather. But heavy rain like Tuesday is possible on Wednesday Afternoon and evening.

If you get a storm on Thursday, count yourself lucky as the bigger story I think will be the hotter temperatures as temps soar into the mid to upper 90s.

Friday through the weekend is starting to look wet and a touch cooler as a slow moving storm system will affect the central and northern plains. Temperatures will also slide back into the 80s for highs.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday,
Thomas

It’s going to be a hot one on Tuesday with everyone making it to the 90 degree mark. Winds will be out of the south/southwest 5 to 10mph. There is a slight chance of t-storms northwest of North Platte after 4 or 5pm as t-storms develop off the black hills of South Dakota and drift southeastward.

Wednesday and Thursday will be hot ones with highs in the low to mid 90s. There is a slight chance of t-storms both days.

Friday an area of low pressure will develop across Wyoming. Out ahead of it will be a hot one as temperatures once again reach 90.

Saturday is looking like a wet one as of right now as a boundary stalls over the area. Of course ill be fixing the forecast as we get closer, but also it looks like temperatures will trend downward. As highs on Saturday, Sunday and Next Monday will be in the 80s.

Saturday Forecast

Another hot day is on tap for areas southeast of a line from about Dunning to North Platte. Southeast of this line with winds out of the south i am looking for highs in the 90s. Kearney eastward will have temps in the 100-105 degree range. Factor in the heat index it's going to feel near 110 in Eastern Nebraska. So please use caution if you have any outdoor plans in Eastern Nebraska. And I know, fan day is schudule to go at 9:30 to 11am at Memorial Studium in Lincoln for the football team. I still think that early we may have temps pushing into the mid to upper 80s with heat indexs well into the 90s. So drink plenty of fluids if you plan on being at that event Saturday AM.

There is about a 20% chance of storms across the area through out the day Saturday. There is a chance that some of these storms maybe severe with large hail and damaging winds the main threats.

Cooler air will start pouring into the area. First up north and then slowly moving south, infact I think Saturday night might be a cool night for sleeping with lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

Sunday and into next week, will start the week off cool with high in the 80s and a slight chance of t-storms both Sunday Night and Monday Night. But as we get to Tuesday the 90s should return and we should stay in the low to mid 90s with a chance of night time t-storms. Typical August weather wouldn't you say.

Have a great weekend,
Thomas
