My thoughts: First storms develop near Red Cloud & uses lots of storm fuel. Farther north and east, storm fuel will be HIGH/EXTREME with storms forming along that line. By the evening, storms move ESE carrying the STRONG WIND & isolated tornado potential. Storms will be out by 2am with a few lingering showers/T-storms early Saturday morning.

Near 5-7pm: The first storms will try & develop near Red Cloud-> up to Fremont. These first storms will have the best chance for all hazards. LARGE HAIL, STRONG WINDS & TORNADOES. Storms will move ESE through tonight.

7-9PM: Storms will carry a DAMAGING WIND & tornado threat. Lincoln, Omaha & SE Nebraska will likely see storms by 7-11pm Friday.

Flooding will be a concern through Friday night. Some spots could see 2-3″+ of rain due to storms staying stagnant for some time.

HOTTER temperatures farther SW will limit storms this evening. Highs reaching the 80s/90s across the state Friday afternoon.

VERY HUMID this afternoon & evening! Dew points reaching the mid 70s north and south of I-80. This will add to the storm fuel & intensification.

Storms with potential flooding concerns through Friday night. Saturday will be partly sunny with a chance of isolated storms by the afternoon and evening. Sunday cools down due to afternoon showers/T-storms. Next week will be HOT & HUMID!
