Goodland Radar Will Be Down For Repairs

A line of storms is moving in from Southwestern Nebraska and moving south-southeast. Around 10:00 pm CT, the McCook, NE Airport reported a 77 mph gust. The primary hazards are damaging wind gusts up to 85 mph.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect Thursday (8/27/26) until 12:00 / 1:00 AM MT/CT Friday (8/28/26) for Southwest Nebraska and Northwest Kansas. All severe hazards are possible. Have a way to receive weather information and warnings!

Expect a day-to-day warming trend, hottest on Saturday August 29 when highs are forecast to reach the upper 90's to lower 100's. Storms are possible across portions of the area this evening into tonight, mainly north of I-70 and east of Highway 25 after sunset. Thunderstorms are presently not anticipated on Friday or Saturday.

Due to accumulating hail damage the past few years, the Goodland radar is getting a new radar dome. The issue is that the radar itself will likely be down through Sep. 9th. You may look at neighboring radars to still see radar data. We will still send watches and warnings.
