Friday cold front brings a chance for storms

Thursday will start off on a cloudier note, with mostly cloudy skies in the forecast for much of the morning. There will also be some isolated light rain moving across the southeast corner of the state.

We cannot rule out one of these showers passing through your location as the morning progresses, although the overall chances are small. While we keep the clouds for most of the morning, cloud cover generally decreases through the afternoon. We’re forecasting high temperatures in the low to mid-90s in Lincoln.

Most versions of Stormcast keep Thursday afternoon and evening dry, except one. A lot has to go right in order to see evening storms. The odds of seeing evening rain appear low at this time.

Regardless, skies should be mostly clear overnight and into Friday morning, with overnight lows in the middle-60s.

Friday will be another hot day, with high temperatures in the middle-90s. However, a cold front will be approaching during the day. Along the front, there may be some scattered storm development in southeast Nebraska.

There are still some questions as to how widespread any storm activity will be on Friday evening, but the cold front may act as a “trigger” to produce them. For now, it is our best chance to pick up some rain in the near future.
