A Few Severe Storms Tonight: What to Expect
As the evening progresses, anticipate the emergence of some isolated storms beginning around 5 p.m. over northeast Nebraska. These irregular and sporadic storms are likely to advance southeast as they precede the cold front. While many areas may completely sidestep these weather disturbances, there is potential for some to intensify, reaching severe thresholds. The primary threat posed by these storms is substantial hail, potentially measuring between 1 to 3 inches in diameter. Additionally, there could be instances of damaging winds and possibly a brief tornado. The stormy weather is expected to clear our locality by midnight.
Post-cold front, cooler conditions are anticipated on Friday. The day will commence with temperatures in the upper 40s, gradually rising to only the mid 50s by the afternoon. Expect predominantly cloudy skies coupled with blustery conditions as colder air moves in.
Saturday’s forecast predicts temperatures around 60 degrees, accompanied by a blend of sunshine and clouds.
During Easter Sunday, be prepared for scattered showers throughout the day. If you have planned outdoor activities for the holiday, it’s wise to have alternative indoor arrangements. This rainy weather will maintain temperatures in the mid 50s, under mostly cloudy skies.
Come Monday, the weather looks to improve slightly, with partly cloudy conditions and a high nearing 70. Although there may be a few sparse showers attempting to move in on Monday night, the majority of the region is likely to remain dry.
By Tuesday, temperatures are expected to climb to the mid 70s, with a pleasant mix of sunshine and clouds. This warmer trend is set to continue into Wednesday, with similar temperatures in the 70s.
