A line of thunderstorms currently extending from Cherry County southwestward through Garden County is causing some flooding and severe weather as the line pushes slowly southeastward. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for much of Greater Nebraska until 10pm CT tonight, and a Flash Flood Watch is up for Garden, Deuel, Keith, and Perkins Counties through Wednesday morning as any heavy rain that accompanies storms tonight will fall on ground already saturated from storms Sunday night, and may cause some flooding problems.
The storms are being caused by a cold front that is pressing southward through the State, and by tomorrow morning the front will have pushed through the region, but warm and moist air flowing up and over the front will continue to cause showers and possibly some thunderstorms. But it will also be very cool for July behind the front on Wednesday as clouds will hold highs into the 60’s, perhaps touching 70 in a few southern locations.
The end of the week is looking nicer with more in the way of sun, and temperatures warming up to perhaps 90 by the time we get to the weekend. Another front may cause some isolated storms on Sunday, but right now it doesn’t appear that this will ruin any outdoor plans this weekend.
Stay tuned to KNOP and log into KNOPNEWS2.COM and go to our Weather Active radar feature to keep updated on tonight’s stormy weather.
