Today and Tonight

Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon between 3 PM and 7 PM, especially along and east of a line from Sioux City to Lincoln as a dry line moves into the area. Destructive hail up to three inches in diameter, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes are all possible. Another smaller area of severe potential could materialize late this afternoon into early evening across northeast Nebraska as the cold front moves into the region. Locally damaging winds and hail to quarter size would be the main hazards in this area 5 PM to 8 PM. In addition, extreme fire conditions could develop behind the dry line this afternoon, west and and southwest of Lincoln. In this area, a red flag warning will be in effect 2 PM through 8 PM, due to a combination of very warm temperatures, low humidity, and gusty south southwest winds.

Tuesday through Sunday

The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT…

If storms develop, spotter activation could be needed this afternoon for areas along and east of the Missouri River.
