Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast to lift north from Kansas into south central Nebraska. The vast majority of the outlook area is under at least a Marginal to Slight Risk of severe storms this afternoon into the overnight hours. However, the area of greatest concern in Nebraska is the far southern tier counties, along the Nebraska-Kansas border. Particularly within this Enhanced Risk area, some storms will be capable of producing large hail of at least golf ball size, damaging winds of at least 60 MPH, and even a few tornadoes. In addition to the severe weather threat, heavy rain is likely at times this afternoon into tonight across much of the outlook area, with some places receiving at least 1 to 2 inches, with localized higher amounts possible. Pockets of flooding and perhaps flash flooding cannot be ruled out, especially if heavy rain occurs over some of the same areas that had substantial rain a few nights ago. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. During the daytime Sunday, isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity will remain possible. The majority of storms should be fairly weak, but a few stronger to marginally severe storms are possible, with the main threat being hail up to the size of quarters. Late Sunday night into Monday morning, it could get cold enough to make frost a possibility, mainly north and west of the Tri Cities. Sub-freezing temperatures are possible if conditions skies are able to clear out and winds drop off. Between Tuesday and Thursday, periodic thunderstorm chances exist for various parts of the area. It is too early to confidently assess the potential for any severe storms during this time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are encourage to report any instances of severe weather or flooding that might occur this afternoon and tonight. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$ KSZ005>007-017>019-282100- Phillips-Smith-Jewell-Rooks-Osborne-Mitchell- 349 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of north central Kansas. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight. Thunderstorms, some strong to severe will become more widespread this afternoon and then gradually spread northward with time into more of the Nebraska outlook area.

Some storms both this afternoon and this evening will be capable of producing large hail of at least golf ball size, damaging winds of at least 60 MPH, and even a few tornadoes. A strong tornado cannot be ruled out, especially if a supercell storm is able to track along a warm front in the area. In addition to the severe weather threat, heavy rain is likely at times this afternoon into tonight with some places likely receiving at least 1 to 2 inches, and localized higher amounts possible.
