Thursday's Weather Thoughts

What could become a very volatile night for severe weather is just beginning to take shape to our south and west.

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Tornado Watch for all of southwestern Nebraska until 12AM CDT. We could see some explosively developing storms which could produce very large hail of 2 inches or greater, damaging winds in excess of 60mph, heavy flooding rains and isolated tornadoes. A strong tornado is even possible.
The storms will continue into the overnight but begin to lessen toward sunrise Friday.
Much of Friday may be storm free until the later afternoon and evening when another round of storms, perhaps severe, develops once again. Some isolated storms can't be ruled out anytime Friday but the bulk should hold off until later in the day. Highs will be in the lower 80's.

The weekend is looking cool and unsettled and perhaps wet, with the greatest chance of significant rain on Sunday. Highs will only be in the 60's to the lower 70's.
