Today’s video:
Dealing with a little dense fog across western Kansas that should burn off over the next couple of hours:
Overall not favoring much weather as a whole across both KS and NE today with more stable air in place…a few scattered showers and t’storms possible across eastern CO to SW KS later this afternoon towards sunset ~3-9pm local time (~0.1-0.5″):
The bigger threat comes late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning especially from North Platte to Valentine to Grand Island and Lincoln, Nebraska to northeastern KS for a strong storm threat bringing the risks for damaging winds, large hail and flooding. Meanwhile, a few scattered strong storms also possible in central KS Tuesday evening into early Wed AM as well:
Total rainfall guidance from now through Wednesday morning (this does not include the strong storm cluster Wednesday morning across northeastern KS) is below…favoring the areas mentioned above seeing fairly widespread risks of 0.5-1.5″ in central to SE Nebraska, with locally 2-4″ embedded within this strong cluster not impossible. Central to western KS will see more hit or miss 0.25-0.75″ (locally higher)…with equally many of us staying on the drier side here in the short-term:
Overall rainfall guidance favored as we head into late week into the weekend…eastern Nebraska to eastern Kansas continue to be the bread-winners for the most rainfall ahead of 1-3″+…lower totals further west and southwest the location under the influence of the ridge:
