LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Storm Prediction Center included Lincoln in the slight risk for scattered severe storms on Sunday and a Weather Alert Day is now in effect as a result.
First things first, a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 5 AM Sunday morning. Damaging winds and large hail are the main concerns and although a tornado cannot be ruled out chances are on the lower end.
On Sunday, the slight risk moves to eastern and primarily southeastern Nebraska. Damaging winds are the main concern, though isolated large hail cannot be ruled out.
Timing this all out, storms are once again possible tonight and overnight tonight. We cannot rule out morning storms closer to Lincoln Sunday, but the greater risk will be later into the afternoon and potentially into early Monday morning.
Although widespread heavy rain is not likely, with the excessive amounts of rain seen in parts of the state this week, it’s worth noting isolated flash flooding is also possible Sunday. Make sure to be weather aware over the next 24-48 hours.
Moving on to our temperatures, Sunday will likely be hot and humid once again with low 80s to the northwest and mid 90s to the southeast.
Cooler conditions are likely Monday, but they will not last long as 90s are forecast Tuesday to Saturday. Mainly dry conditions now look likely until the end of the week and we will be watching out closely for the 4th of July holiday.
