355 PM CDT Sun Aug 23 2026

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and
portions of north central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Late tonight, mainly between 1 AM and sunrise Monday, scattered
and likely weak thunderstorms will develop into primarily the
northeast half of our forecast area...most favoring locations near
and east of a line from Ord, to Hastings, to Superior Nebraska.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

- Thunderstorm chances Monday into Monday night:
Between sunrise and roughly 10 AM Monday, weak thunderstorms will
remain possible, primarily within our Nebraska counties east of
Highway 281.

Then, following what should be a mainly dry Monday afternoon and
early evening, chances for isolated to perhaps scattered storms
return to most of our forecast area primarily after 10 PM and
through the overnight hours. Severe storms appear fairly unlikely,
but a few stronger storms with gusty winds and/or small hail
probably cannot be ruled out.

- Intermittent thunderstorm chances Tuesday through Saturday:
Intermittent chances for thunderstorms persist within our forecast
area through Saturday. At this time, the main timeframe of concern
for potentially a few severe thunderstorms is Tuesday late
afternoon and evening, but there remains quite a bit of
uncertainty in the details.
