Weather Summary for Portions of the Central Plains

National Weather Service Hastings NE

703 AM CDT Wed May 1 2024



Focusing solely on these next two days across our central and south 

central Nebraska and north central Kansas coverage area...BY FAR the 

biggest weather concern is the good chance of thunderstorms...some 

severe...today into tonight. While the details are a bit murky...we 

are generally expecting at least two to three separate rounds of 

storms across our coverage area as a whole...with the first round 

already underway this morning with a chance of a few hail storms 

mainly in Kansas up to around perhaps Interstate 80. However...the 

overall more concerning...and potentially more intense storms with a 

large hail...damaging wind and localized heavy rain threat will 

likely not transpire until the 6 PM to 3 AM time frame. That being 

said...there is a possibility that the earlier storms could mute our 

local severe storm threat somewhat...especially if they cause a warm 

front over Kansas to remain farther south. No matter what...just 

remain weather-aware throughout today and tonight...just in case. 

Otherwise today...expect a cooler day with high temperatures only in 

the 50s and 60s...depending on how thick cloud cover and how 

widespread daytime rainfall is. Speaking of rain...at least parts of 

our area will likely see at least 1 to 2 inches before tonight is 

over with. Briefly looking ahead to tomorrow...the back edge of any 

lingering rain should be out of our area by around sunrise...with 

the rest of the day dry and quite breezy out of the northwest. High 

temperatures tomorrow will top out in the mid 60s to around 70 

degrees.
