3 THINGS TO KNOW

  • Severe weather possible tonight
  • More severe storms Sunday & Monday
  • A pleasant week follows the storms

FORECAST

Like Saturday, most of Sunday will be dry, hot with highs in the mid-80s, and windy with gusts up to 40 mph. Storms will develop over central Nebraska after 5 pm and move eastward, potentially forming into a line as they reach Omaha after 8 pm. Along with hail and winds, the ingredients are better for a few tornadoes too, particularly over northeast Nebraska, where a strong tornado is possible. Storms weaken after midnight, but may linger into Monday morning.

As of now, Monday appears to be the most widespread risk of severe weather as the cold front arrives. Storms may develop overhead in the early afternoon and move eastward and out of our area by 10 pm. The highest risk for severe weather will be along and south of I-80. The ingredients are in place for large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes (some could be strong). Many things can and will change for Monday, and Monday's storms may depend on how the previous days go.

Bottom line, this weekend is one to pay attention to if you have any plans.

After the storms move out Monday night, the rest of next week is pleasant and cool with highs in the 60s and 70s. Some rain chance may return, starting on Thursday.
