After a second day of isolated severe thunderstorms last evening over Greater Nebraska, more storms are in the forecast for tonight and Thursday, and isolated severe weather could occur once again.
The front that passed through overnight is now situated to our west and south. This front will try to make inroads back to the east and north during the next couple of days but will struggle to do so, and it will eventually dissipate as an upper-level ridge of high pressure extending from the southern Plains to the Southeast strengthens and exerts more influence into our region by the weekend. Until then, the front, and disturbances riding north and eastward from the Rockies, will periodically cause showers and thunderstorms to affect the area. One such disturbance will cross Greater Nebraska later tonight into Thursday and produce thunderstorm activity.
As the upper-level high begins to exert more influence during Friday, storm chance should begin to decrease, and should be almost non-existent by the time we get to the weekend. From the weekend into early next week, we can expect more in the way of sunshine and highs cresting into the 90’s. There is a possibility that the century mark could be exceeded in a few areas. The extent and duration of the heat will depend on the strength and position of the high, but right now it looks like at least several days of hot and perhaps very hot weather are on the way.
