Hazardous Weather Outlook For NUCKOLLS County, Nebraska

332 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

 DAY ONE  Today and Tonight.

Thunderstorms are expected to continue moving north and east 
across much of the remainder of the area into early Tuesday 
morning. 

Some of these storms will likely be severe, capable of 
producing large hail to at least golf ball size, damaging wind 
gusts of at least 60 MPH, and even a few tornadoes, with a strong
tornado not completely out of the question. A tornado threat 
could exist not only with any more isolated storms, but perhaps 
also along any kinks embedded within a line of storms. 

 DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN  Wednesday through Monday.

Chances for thunderstorms continue during the day Tuesday and 
even into Tuesday evening. A few of these storms could be strong 
to marginally severe, mainly capable of producing hail up to 
around quarter size, but the primary and more concerning threat
for severe storms will focus east of our area altogether. 

Also Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night, strong west-northwest
winds will gradually overspread the entire area, with gusts of at
least 40 to 50 MPH likely, and gusts perhaps to at least 55 MPH
possible especially in far western counties such as Dawson,
Gosper
and Furnas. 

Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, there is a low
chance for weak thunderstorms in parts of the area. 

 SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT  

Spotters are encouraged to report any instances of severe weather
and possible thunderstorm-related damage through the overnight
hours.
