Thursday's Weather Thoughts - Stormy!

A stormy night is in store for Greater Nebraska.

Low pressure developing over east–central Colorado, and a warm front extending from the low through northern Kansas, will bring showers and thunderstorms through the night. Some of the storms could be strong with heavy rainfall, hail which could be large, and locally damaging winds. An isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out, but the greatest chance of tornadoes will be to our south and east over the next couple of days. Lows tonight will be in the lower 50's.

We should see a break during the morning hours tomorrow over central and southwestern parts of the viewing area as the warm front (or occluded front by then) moves northward toward northern Nebraska. However, as some sunshine develops the atmosphere should destabilize enough so that thunderstorms will begin to pop up during the afternoon, and some of these storms could be strong to severe as well. Highs tomorrow will be in the lower 60's.

By Saturday, wrap around moisture from the now departing low will make for a windy, raw and chilly day with occasional rain and highs only in the middle 50's. Fortunately, it now looks like we may be able to salvage Sunday as some sunshine peaks through the clouds with highs in the upper 50's with breezy conditions.

Please stay tuned to News 2 for the latest on this stormy weather.
