Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats but a tornado or two are also possible. Localized heavy rain is likely to move east into the area, primarily along and north of the Platte River. 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 night through Friday Thunderstorm chances continue through Saturday, mainly south of Interstate 80 with the greatest potential for a few severe storms 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... Storm spotters may be needed this evening across northeast Nebraska. $$
