Severe weather possible in southeast Nebraska Saturday evening

Strong to severe storms are possible as Saturday evening progresses. Large hail and damaging wind will be the main concern, but an isolated tornado or two is also possible.

The Storm Prediction Center has parts of western and northern Nebraska in the level 1 “Marginal Risk” for severe storms. Most of south central and southeast Nebraska is in the level 2 “Slight Risk” for severe storms.

There is a level 3 “Enhanced Risk” and a level 4 “Moderate Risk” further south.

Above is a video of what our StormCast weather model is showing for storms this afternoon and evening. Most of the storms should be out of our area shortly after midnight.

With the storms that form this afternoon and evening, a tornado or two will be possible.

There is a higher risk for damaging wind with storms this evening. In the hash marked area along and south of I80, wind in excess of 75 mph will be possible.

Large hail will also be possible for much of Nebraska this evening. The better chance for larger hail will be in Kansas and areas south.
