Memorial Day Weekend is here! But thunderstorms, possibly severe, will likely affect much of Greater Nebraska Saturday evening and night.
Tonight will be clear and breezy but mild with lows in the middle 60’s, so a pleasant night to be outside.
Saturday will be mainly sunny much of the day and breezy with highs once again approaching 90. However, a cold front approaching from the west will spark thunderstorms towards evening, maybe late afternoon over western and northern areas. These storms could turn severe, and while isolated tornadoes are possible, the main threats will be large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall. In fact, eastern Cherry County is under a Flash Flood Watch as thunderstorms there will be capable of dumping very heavy rain in a short amount of time as the front begins to slow a bit and some upper-level energy has a greater affect in northern areas.
The storms will continue into the night, and perhaps well into the overnight across southern and eastern areas. By sunrise Sunday, the cold front should be far enough to the east that storms will have ended, and Sunday and Monday are looking sunny to partly sunny and pleasant with highs anywhere from the upper 60’s to upper 70’s. Sunday may still be a bit breezy.
Stay tuned to News 2 for the latest on Saturday’s severe storm threat. Enjoy and be safe this holiday weekend!
