Most of Sunday will be dry for much of the state, but late in the afternoon storms start to pop in western Nebraska. Those storms then move from west to east. See below for timing and location.

Those storms have a really good chance at dropping some big hail. In fact, most of the state has a chance to see hail bigger than golf balls.

Tornadoes are also possible with storms that do form. I know 2-5% doesn’t sound like a big number, but it usually means there are at least a few tornadoes during the event.

Overall, the threat for severe weather is a level 1-3, “Marginal”, “Slight”, and “Enhanced” Risk. The highest risk for severe storms will be in western Nebraska when the storms first start up.
