Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats. Localized heavy rain is possible with a cluster of storms that develop after dark. Flooding is possible in far northeast Nebraska. A Flood Watch has been issued for the Missouri River as recent and very heavy rains upstream continue to flow into the Missouri River. The runoff from this rain could potentially bring the Missouri River, below Gavins Point Dam, well into flood stage. More rain is expected today and again tonight, only worsening the situation. Due to the large amount of water coming down the river, the river will not crest until mid to late next week with some locations reaching moderate flood stage. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday Thunderstorm chances continue through Saturday with the greatest potential for severe weather in southeast Nebraska and southwest Iowa on Saturday. Hot, humid conditions will develop early next week with heat indices approaching 100 to 110 on Monday and possibly Tuesday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are encouraged to report rainfall amounts over one inch to the National Weather Service at Omaha. $$
