Weather Headlines:

We still have a couple more days of high temperatures that belong in late July rather than early September. However, a long-awaited cold front is expected to move through late Tuesday and into Wednesday. This will bring cooler weather and scattered storm chances to southeast Nebraska.

Isolated to scattered severe storms are possible in far eastern Nebraska through the remainder of the day on Sunday. A Slight Risk (Level 2 out of 5) of severe weather is in place along the Nebraska-Iowa and Nebraska-Missouri borders. A Marginal Risk (Level 1 out of 5) extends west toward the Capital City. Large hail, damaging winds and localized flooding are possible in the strongest storms.

Here is a look at what the radar could look like for the rest of the weekend, according to the latest run of StormCast.

Isolated storm chances are in the forecast for Labor Day and on Tuesday for various portions of the state. Large hail and damaging winds would be the main concerns for any storms that can get going in the green-shaded areas above.

Forecast:

A mixture of 60s and 70s will be seen statewide for the start of Labor Day on Monday. Our typical overnight lows in southeast Nebraska usually reside in the upper 50s this time of year.

Storm chances will attempt to build in from the east through the late evening and early overnight hours. Storms cannot be ruled out for Lincoln; otherwise, expect partly cloudy skies heading into Monday morning.

Above-average temperatures continue statewide to start the work week, with highs once again in the 90s. Some good news: variable cloudiness may keep temperatures at bay in the afternoon for some areas.

We may see a few lingering showers for the Capital City to start the Labor Day holiday. By the afternoon, partly to mostly sunny skies enter the forecast, allowing temperatures to heat up by the end of the day.

Following a passing cold front by the middle of the week, near-average temperatures settle into the forecast. Scattered chances for rain exist heading into the weekend, before hints of fall creep their way into the picture by mid-September.
