Still quite warm, evening storm chance across southeast Nebraska

After a quick-moving shower dropped a little less than a tenth of an inch for some around Lincoln (0.07″ here at Channel 8), we’ve been drying out with another warm morning. The views from cloud cover and the sun poking through were unbelievable around sunrise.

Temperatures begin in the lower 70s before rising to the lower 90s – an improvement from days past – but it’ll still feel quite warm.

With the humidity, the peak heat index will rise to the mid and upper 90s throughout the afternoon.

Later, some storms will attempt to bubble up across southeast Nebraska as soon as 8 p.m. Tuesday evening. There’s still quite a spread in the models, as some show storms completely missing Lincoln to the south and east and rain not starting until about midnight.

That being said, the chance is enough to mention, with some activity pulsing up somewhere mainly south of I-80 tonight.

Se Ne Storms Tonight

There is a Marginal (Level 1 of 5) risk for an isolated storm to intensify and become borderline severe – meaning up to 60 mph winds and up to quarter sized hail is possible for a select few tonight.

Models suggest better coverage for heavier rainfall down toward Nebraska City and areas south and east of Lincoln, too.
