Beautiful late summer weather that has been with us since Friday will be interrupted the next couple of days by thunderstorms, especially later tomorrow into Wednesday.
A couple of fronts and situated over and just to the south of Nebraska are interacting with moisture streaming in from the southeast, and thunderstorms have been developing from northern Kansas northeastward into eastern Nebraska, and a few of them have been strong to severe with strong winds and large hail. Right now, it appears that the most widespread activity will remain over these same areas, but a few isolated storms could form over southern and eastern parts of our viewing area this evening into early tonight, and any storm that forms is capable of turning severe. A Tornado Watch is in effect until 11pm CDT from Lincoln and Custer Counties south and east. Later tonight, the threat will end with partly cloudy skies and lows in the 50’s.
Tuesday will be partly sunny, breezy and still warm with highs in the 80’s, but thunderstorms will likely develop once again late in the afternoon and especially Tuesday night and into Wednesday as a strong disturbance in the upper levels approaches and interacts with fronts still in the area. Once again, any storm could turn severe. Lows tomorrow night will be near 60, with highs Wednesday around 80.
The front should finally press south of Greater Nebraska by Thursday, leaving us with partly sunny skies and highs a bit cooler, in the 70. But another front moving in from the northwest will approach by Friday and perhaps stall near or over the area, with possibly more unsettled weather for the weekend into early next week.
