THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
DAY ONE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
- THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL:
WHILE SPOTTY THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALMOST ANYWHERE IN OUR
FORECAST AREA BEFORE SUNSET...A FEW PERHAPS STRONG ENOUGH TO
PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND/OR GUSTY WINDS...IT IS LOOKING INCREASINGLY
PROBABLE THAT OUR AREA SHOULD END UP DODGING ANY POTENTIAL SEVERE
STORM THREAT THROUGH AT LEAST 10 PM.
HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL A POSSIBILITY FOR MORE WIDESPREAD
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING,
WITH AT LEAST A FEW STORMS POSSIBLY BECOMING SEVERE. THE MAIN
TIME FRAME OF CONCERN FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE STORMS IS 11 PM THROUGH
5 AM, AND THE PRIMARY HAZARDS ARE HAIL UP TO AROUND THE SIZE OF
PING PONG BALLS, AND/OR WIND GUSTS UP TO AROUND 60 MPH. OUR ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA IS CURRENTLY ASSIGNED A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
STORMS OVERNIGHT.
IN ADDITION TO ANY POSSIBLE SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT, PARTS OF OUR
AREA COULD PICK UP A QUICK 1-2 INCHES OF HEAVY RAIN, POSSIBLY
RESULTING IN MAINLY MINOR/SHORT-TERM FLOODING ISSUES.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
- LIMITED THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL SATURDAY-SATURDAY NIGHT:
BETWEEN SUNRISE AND ROUGHLY 10 AM SATURDAY, LINGERING
THUNDERSTORMS COULD PERSIST FROM THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, BUT THESE
SHOULD BE ON THE WEAKER SIDE.
FOLLOWING WHAT SHOULD BE AN ALMOST ENTIRELY STORM-FREE LATE
SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH EVENING, THUNDERSTORM CHANCES RETURN TO
OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND SUNRISE SUNDAY, BUT
WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOCUSED WITHIN COUNTIES WEST OF HIGHWAY
281. SEVERE STORMS APPEAR RATHER UNLIKELY.
- PERIODIC THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY:
INTERMITTENT CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS OUR AREA
SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. SEVERE STORMS APPEAR UNLIKELY THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT, BUT BEYOND THAT, IT IS TOO SOON TO CONFIDENTLY
PINPOINT ANY POTENTIAL TIME FRAMES THAT MIGHT CARRY SEVERE STORM
POTENTIAL NEXT WEEK.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY POSSIBLE INSTANCES OF
THUNDERSTORM-RELATED SEVERE WEATHER THAT MIGHT OCCUR TONIGHT.
