Wednesday's Weather Thoughts

After a nice day overall, thunderstorms began to develop late this afternoon over the southern part of the Nebraska Panhandle, and these storms then moved southeastward through southwestern parts of our viewing area. There have been reports of flooding in Ogallala, and of marble-sized hail that covered the ground like snow in Garden County.

We will see a few more isolated storms this evening, but the activity will begin to diminish later tonight when skies turn partly cloudy with lows in the 50’s with light winds.

Thursday will turn warmer in the afternoon after a warm front pushes northeastward through Greater Nebraska, and with partly sunny skies highs will reach the middle to upper 80’s.

Friday will be warm as well, but a cold front approaching from the north will raise the risk of more thunderstorm activity late in the day into Saturday morning, and some of these storms may be strong. As the front pushes south of the region Saturday morning, sunshine should return for Saturday afternoon and Sunday with highs in the 80’s.

Stay tuned to News 2 for any updates on this evenings thunderstorm activity.
