Severe thunderstorms that developed around mid-afternoon and affected Southwestern and South-Central counties from Hitchcock northeastward to Custer will move out of the viewing area by early this evening. These storms produced wind gusts up to 60mph that blew a roof off a building in McCook in Hitchcock County, that then landed on a truck, and downed 4 to 8 inch diameter tree branches in Stockville and Curtis in Frontier County.
A cool front will push through Greater Nebraska overnight and stall over Northern Kansas by Tuesday evening, and this could set off a couple more isolated strong storms until about midnight, but skies will then clear by morning with lows near 60.
Tuesday will be a nice late summer day with mostly sunny skies and light winds with highs in the middle 80’s.
But the front to our south and an impulse riding eastward along it will reintroduce the threat of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow night and Wednesday, especially across southern parts of the viewing area. Some of these storms could be strong to severe. These storms will move out of the region by Wednesday night.
Then high pressure will build into the area from the west, and should remain in control from Thursday through the Labor Day weekend. Skies will be sunny to mostly sunny, and temperatures will start off a bit below average Thursday and Friday with highs from the upper 70’s to lower 80’s, but will warm to above average for the weekend with highs from the middle 80’s to lower 90’s. So overall the long Labor Day Weekend is looking quite summerlike, and should be ideal for any outdoor plans.
