Strong, at times severe, storms tonight, Friday and this weekend across Nebraska

Today starts a very active period of weather in which several rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the weekend.

First off today, we’ll continue to see spotty, light rain here and there in the morning before more showers move in from a line of thunderstorms currently off to the west. Better chance for heavy rain and storms will come after about 9pm Thursday night.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON/OVERNIGHT – SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA

The first of several rounds of severe weather across Nebraska is expected later this afternoon into the evening. For those under a Slight (Level 2 – yellow) risk, storms will first begin there and threaten mainly large hail, but a tornado or two and damaging wind will also be possible.

Stormcast below in one of the latest model runs has the timing of storms throughout the rest of the morning, Thursday evening and into Friday morning.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING – EASTERN NEBRASKA

While Thursday is the first threat of severe weather nearby, Friday has the greater threat in eastern Nebraska. Just east of Lincoln, there’s an Enhanced (Level 3 – orange) risk for numerous severe storms possible that are more persistent and/or widespread, a few being intense.

Fri Spc

Namely, the fact that both significant tornadoes (EF2 or higher) and significant hail (2″+) are possible Friday afternoon into the evening with this round of storms. Severe wind gusts could also be up to 70 mph.

Friday – Large Hail Risk
Friday – Damaging Wind Risk

Some clearing after the morning storms continue north will happen in southeast Nebraska, allowing the environment to destabilize and more thunderstorms to redevelop by the early afternoon. Stormcast has timing of this round below.

Especially after about 2 p.m., we’ll be watching for any and all severe threats in these storms. Be sure to be weather aware during this timeframe and adjust plans as needed.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT – SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA

Through the weekend, additional severe storms are anticipated to be impacting southeast Nebraska late Saturday afternoon. The higher threat of severe weather is southeast (including Falls City) in another Enhanced risk. All severe weather hazards will be possible.

Sat Spc

A fourth found of thunderstorms on Sunday is possible after about 1 p.m. with a lower end tornado threat, hail up to 1″ in diameter and gusts up to 60 mph.

Stay weather aware and check back in frequently as the Storm Alert Team continues to update information.
