During the late morning to early afternoon hours...an area of scattered showers and weak storms passes east across the area...but does not look to amount to much. This afternoon...expecting thunderstorms to develop once again over the higher terrain of Colorado and western Nebraska...with this activity then expected to slide east through the evening and overnight hours. Some uncertainties remain with just how well this activity holds together as it pushes east...but there will be the potential for some storms to move into the area. Cannot rule out a few storms being strong to severe...with hail around the size of ping pong balls...wind gusts near 60 MPH and heavy rain possible with the strongest storms. The overall tornado threat looks to be low. Otherwise...expecting partly cloudy skies...with southerly winds to start the day...then turning westerly then northwesterly as a surface front pushes through the area. Afternoon highs are forecast to reach the mid 80s north to mid 90s south. The start of the upcoming weekend is expected to be dry...with decreasing cloud cover and highs in the mid 70s to mid 80s...but storm chances return for Sunday and Monday. Gusty southeasterly winds are expected Sunday and Monday...with highs back in the 90s to near 100 by Monday. $$
