The latest runs of StormCast have storm chances winding down by midnight for central and western Nebraska.

The greatest potential for severe weather will be for the western reaches of the state, though an isolated severe storm or two would be possible if it can make it into eastern Nebraska. Large hail and damaging winds are the main concerns for the strongest storms on Saturday night.

Forecast:

Temperatures will fall to the upper 50s and upper 60s by early Sunday morning. Partly to mostly cloudy skies are expected statewide.

There is a small chance a storm makes it as far east as Lincoln, but it is still a chance. We likely remain dry with lows tonight dropping to the upper 60s.

Highs continue to look like summer for Sunday afternoon. Temperatures will range from the upper 80s to the lower 90s, with humidity continuing to push the heat index into the 90s.

Mostly sunny skies are on the way for the Capital City with highs in the upper 80s. There will not be much of a breeze to close the weekend, but it would be refreshing out of the north.

Highs linger in the lower 90s for the start of the work week as we stay dry until Wednesday and Thursday. Highs once again return to the lower 90s after a brief cool down at the end of the upcoming week.
