Another Round of Thunderstorms Threatens Eastern Nebraska Thursday Morning Eastern Nebraska is bracing for another round of thunderstorms overnight into Thursday morning, with the potential for severe weather. The Storm Prediction Center has issued warnings about strong to severe thunderstorms developing across central and eastern Nebraska in the early morning hours as a secondary weather system moves into the region. Severe thunderstorms featuring large hail are expected late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. The primary threat is large hail, with some stones potentially reaching over 2.50 inches in diameter, particularly in far eastern Nebraska. Damaging winds are also possible as storms transition and organize. Heavy rainfall at rates up to 2 inches per hour could lead to localized flooding or flash flooding as storms move through the area. A low-pressure system originating from Colorado is expected to move into the region late Wednesday night, bringing strong atmospheric conditions that will fuel severe storms. Scattered storms are anticipated to develop late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, with the highest likelihood of severe weather between midnight and 9 a.m. Thursday. Storms are likely to form along and just north of Interstate 80, then shift northward into the early morning hours before clearing by mid to late morning. The atmosphere will be highly efficient at producing heavy rain tonight, with moisture levels well above normal for this time of year. This means storms could generate multiple rounds of rainfall as they move through, increasing the risk of flash flooding in some areas. While there is a low chance for one or two tornadoes, this depends on how the storms develop early Thursday morning. Once the storms pass, conditions will improve significantly.#interstate_80 #nebraska #colorado #storm_prediction_center #storm_safety
