WED-THUR: Warmth Continues...LIMITED Storm Chances

Focusing on the weather forecast for Wednesday daytime-Thursday night for our south central/central NE and north central KS forecast area, highlights are as follows: 1) Our "sudden" jump to more summer-like warmth continues, with afternoon highs mainly low-mid 90s on Wednesday and upper 80s on Thursday (humidity levels will also be on a gradual increase). Both days will be rather breezy out of the south. 2) While the vast majority of our 30-county area will likely remain dry through Thursday night, BOTH Wed evening-overnight and Thurs evening-overnight will feature at least small chances for spotty showers/thunderstorms (chances overall-highest north+west of the Nebraska Tri Cities). 3) Although severe weather is not expected to be a significant issue, much of our area is currently assigned a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for a severe storm Thursday night (we'll put out more information on this potential over the next 24 hours).
