Hazardous Weather Outlook For THAYER County, Nebraska
355 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024
DAY ONE Today and Tonight.
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible almost anywhere
in the outlook area today into early this evening. Especially
between 11 AM and 5 PM, there is a chance that a few storms could
become severe, with the main threat for severe storms primarily
east and northeast of a line from Kearney to Red Cloud Nebraska,
to Jewell Kansas, where a Marginal to Slight Risk for severe
storms exists. The primary threats with any severe storms will be
hail up to around golf ball size and wind gusts to around 60 MPH.
In addition, a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out, especially with
any storms that develop within counties north or northeast of the
Nebraska Tri Cities. However, the overall-greater threat for
possible tornadoes today should focus east of the outlook area
altogether.
In addition to the severe thunderstorm threat today, at least
localized flooding issues will continue today from heavy overnight
rain. Flooding is most likely to affect locations roughly 20
miles either side of a line from Elwood, to Kearney, to Grand
Island, to Osceola where rain amounts of 2.50 to 4.50 inches
were most concentrated. Please refer to any flood-related warnings
or advisories for more details.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN Saturday through Thursday.
Another round of thunderstorms, some of which will likely be
severe, will develop mid to late Saturday afternoon and continue
into early Sunday morning. All but far northern parts of the
outlook area are under at least a Marginal to Slight Risk for
severe storms, although the overall-greatest threat looks to
focus from around Interstate 80 southward into north central
Kansas. In fact, a few counties in far southeastern parts of the
outlook area are under an Enhanced Risk for severe storms. The
main threats with any severe storms Saturday afternoon into
Saturday night will be large hail to around golf ball size and
wind gusts to around 60 MPH, although a few tornadoes will also
be possible. In addition, localized flooding could again
materialize, especially if some of those same areas that just
received heavy rain happen to pick up another 1 to 2 inches.
Various thunderstorm chances are in the forecast for various parts
of the outlook area Sunday daytime, and again between Tuesday
afternoon and Thursday. At this time, it appears any Sunday
daytime storms would probably not be severe, but it is too early
to confidently assess severe weather potential for Tuesday and
beyond.
