We still cannot rule out one or two brief spin-up tornadoes. Additionally, up to ping-pong-ball-sized hail and wind gusts up to 65 miles per hour remain possible for the strongest storms.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 3 a.m. CDT for south-central Nebraska, with another watch in place until 1 a.m. for portions of the Sandhills.

Arguably, the greatest concern this evening is the potential for flash flooding. A Flood Watch is in place for south-central and southeast Nebraska through 7:00 a.m. CDT on Sunday, June 21. Widespread rainfall totals of 1.00-3.00″ are expected, with localized totals between 3.00″ and 5.00″ possible.

The latest run of StormCast shows storm chances continuing through the overnight hours. We are not out of the woods yet in terms of severe weather, so make sure you can be alerted to any warnings we may see.

Forecast:

Father’s Day will start off soggy with temperatures in the 50s and 60s across the state.

Storms are expected to continue into very early Sunday morning for Lincoln.

We remain cooler on Sunday afternoon with highs in the 70s. Southwest Nebraska looks to make a run for the middle 80s.

We will not see much in terms of daytime heating for the Capital City on Sunday. The afternoon could feel a touch cooler with a northeasterly breeze.

Cooler weather for late-June looks to stick around for the week ahead. Monday looks dry, followed by chances for showers and thunderstorms the rest of the work week. We may wait until the last couple of days of the month to see the upper 80s again.
