Warm & Breezy Tuesday, Rain Chances Thursday

This afternoon, high temperatures warming up into the 50s and 60s under sunny skies. Breezy NW winds will occur further north and west making for fire weather concerns and cooler temperatures. Winds will pick up Wednesday across the state with gusts near 30+ mph.

Stormcast Temp Regional

Far western Nebraska will experience wind gusts near 35-45 mph this afternoon, while most of us experiencing gusts near 15-25 mph.

Future Wind Gusts

Models are showing the potential for rain/snow and possibly a few rumbles of thunder across SE Nebraska Thursday afternoon. There will be a sharp cutoff in moisture Thursday afternoon. Further north= DRY AIR and less chances for precipitation. Colder air moves in behind a trailing front Friday, bringing light snow chances into the region. SE and SW Nebraska currently looks to be the hot spot for the best chance of accumulating snow through Saturday.

Thursday afternoon, DRY AIR will take over much of western Nebraska, while more moist air settles in SE Nebraska. This means where ever the moisture settles, the better chance for precipitation near the surface.
