Severe Storms likely to impact central Nebraska this weekend
HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) – Chances of thunderstorms moving into the region as the day moves on. We’ll see these storms start to form near Valentine and continue to make their way to the south east. As they do, they bring the chance for severe weather along with them. This is a part of a cold front and low pressure system and a cold front, which will mix with warm air being shifted up from the south by a high pressure system. The mixing of these two will create instability in the atmosphere which gives us an enhanced chance for severe showers and thunderstorms. We’re looking at strong chances of hail as well as wind throughout the region. The chance for tornadoes is low.
As we move towards the weekend the chance for thunderstorms overnight and early morning return overnight. We’ll see partly cloudy skies over the day which will cool us off over the weekend, which means that we likely won’t even see temperatures cross the 80 barrier on Saturday or Sunday. As we get back into next week, we’ll see temperatures start to pop back up to where they should be this time of year in the high 80s to low 90s.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln offers wellness coaching as a free service to employees.
The program provides confidential, personalized support to help participants improve their health and well-being. Through one-on-one sessions, employees work with trained wellness professionals to identify goals, develop action plans and build sustainable habits aligned with their values and lifestyles.
Unlike traditional health education programs, wellness coaching focuses on helping individuals define what well-being means to them. Coaches act as partners in the behavior change process, helping participants identify motivators, overcome barriers and develop realistic strategies for success. Employees may focus on a variety of topics, including physical activity, nutrition, stress management, work-life balance, sleep and overall wellness.
The coaching process begins with a one-hour initial consultation, during which participants work with a coach to explore goals and create a personalized wellness plan. After the initial session, employees and coaches determine a follow-up schedule based on individual needs, with options for weekly, biweekly or monthly meetings. Written check-ins also may be included to provide additional support and accountability.
HealthierU’s mission is to support University of Nebraska–Lincoln employees in pursuing their own well-being through accessible programs, resources and services that address all dimensions of wellness. Wellness coaching is one of the program’s most individualized offerings, providing employees with tools, support and encouragement to make lasting lifestyle changes.
Employees interested in learning more about wellness coaching are encouraged to visit the program’s updated resource page for additional information, including expectations and availability.
