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.
