Weather Summary for Portions of the Central Plains
National Weather Service Hastings NE
703 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024

Focusing solely on these next 48 hours across our central/south
central Nebraska and north central Kansas coverage
area...thunderstorm chances again take center stage...particularly
for Wednesday and Wednesday night. Starting with today...there could
be a few spotty storms mainly before 4 PM...and mainly within
counties north and east of the Nebraska Tri Cities. However...the
vast majority of our area will remain dry today...as a bigger threat
for severe thunderstorms focuses east of our area altogether. This
will be the overall-warmest day of the week in most places...but
with highs varying from the 70s in most northern and western
counties...to the 80s in southern and eastern
counties...particularly north central Kansas and around Hebron. It
will be a rather breezy day as well...with winds starting out
southerly...but then shifting westerly and northwesterly this
afternoon behind a front...gusting 30 to 35 MPH. Turning to
Wednesday and Wednesday night...nearly our entire coverage area is
under at least a Marginal Risk for severe storms...but the
overall-greatest concern resides near and especially south of the
Kansas border...where a Level 3 of 5 Enhanced Risk has been posted.
Particularly in this part of our area...there could be a few rounds
of severe storms mainly during the late afternoon into the overnight
hours...with large hail...damaging winds and perhaps even a few
tornadoes possible. On a positive note...most of our coverage area
should receive fairly widespread rainfall Wednesday into Wednesday
night...with amounts of one-half inch to 1 inch fairly
common...although localized areas could see a bit too much rain of 2
inches or more in a short time...possibly leading to some flooding
concerns.
