Looking ahead...and focusing on these next few days...following some scattered showers and maybe a few weak thunderstorms overnight tonight mainly near and south of the Kansas border...Wednesday is shaping up to be a pretty darn pleasant day...allowing some places mainly in our Nebraska coverage area a much-needed chance to start drying out again. To be fair...there is an outside chance that a few spots could see a few lingering sprinkles in the first few hours after sunrise...but after that the rest of the day is pretty much guaranteed dry under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. Winds Wednesday will be fairly light...generally 5 to 15 MPH out of the west...as afternoon high temperatures reach the 70s. Mostly dry conditions will continue Wednesday night into Thursday daytime...but Thursday will be quite breezy out of the south...allowing temperatures to climb back up to around 80 degrees. Then...things will turn more active and stormy again Thursday evening and overnight...as a complex...or line of storms is currently expected to sweep across our area from west to east along a cold front. Some of these storms could be severe...and our entire coverage area is currently under a Marginal Risk...or level 1 of 5 severe storm risk. $$
