That weak frontal boundary looks tantalizingly close to us this afternoon... wel could use the cool-down in Nebraska and Iowa please #NEwx #IAwx https://on.windy.com/87kuf

Tomorrow is the peak of the oppressive heat in eastern Nebraska with a high temperature around 101°F, an expected dew point around 80°F and a heat index of around 119°F. I haven't felt this kind of weather since a summer deployment in Qatar #NEwx

My rain gauge has been incredibly busy since early June. It’s a nice change from the serious drought we had in the first half of the year #NEwx.

Most of the thunderstorms have weakened a bit over Nebraska tonight, but the SSEC ProbSevere output shows a couple of strong cells still tonight. That pink circled cell approaching Hastings still has very high probabilities of strong wind and severe size hail #NEwx #weather

Severe storm reports reported between 11 July/12 UTC and 12 July/12 UTC due to a MCS producing strong winds through eastern Nebraska

Up to 30,000 people without power for several hours Wednesday morning #NEwx #Severe #Weather

Intense shelf cloud hit bringing severe thunderstorm winds to the area this morning in the Omaha area #weather #NEwx

The NOAA-20 nighttime VIIRS imagery captured the mass of storms (and a couple of lightning strikes) in Nebraska overnight #NEwx

The lightning show has reached Omaha #NEwx. This chart shows lightning detected over the last 10 minutes. Also showing the associated base reflectivity radar image

NE Colorado and SW Nebraska are rocking tonight with some strong storms moving easterly #NEwx #COwx ⚡ ⚡

Today is the hottest day of the yea so far in Omaha - 95°F with a heat index of 101°F.
And yet it's nothing compared to the temperatures of those to our south all the way to the Gulf Coast. #NEwx

Storms developing across central Nebraska have the potential to produce severe winds through eastern Nebraska this morning. #NEwx

We finally reached the cycle of afternoon, thundershower development, and I love that they’re traveling the opposite of the “normal” direction. #NEwx

It's official... Omaha received only 0.17" of rain in May. This is the lowest amount of May rainfall in recorded history. We are 4.32" below average, worsening the drought conditions here.

National Weather Service Minimum Temperature Forecast and departure from climatology valid Saturday May 20th. A swath of cooler air runs through the Plains and upper Midwest while above average temperatures continue in the West.

Today felt amazing outside and tomorrow morning will be a tiny bit chilly in Omaha #NEwx

And now I see why the models were saying rainshowers and thundershowers would approach Omaha from the southwest after the main storm cluster moved towards the north.... the outflow boundary will intersect some weak showers to our southwest and move this way! #NEwx #OmahaWX

Sometimes the HRRR model data is so uncannily accurate! It leads me sometimes to believe it's usually right, even when it's wrong. However, tonight's 02Z forecast for radar data shows the rain and storms are right about where they actually are *right now* Great forecast with a 5-hour lead time. 👍 #NEwx

Well Nebraska May weather has entered the chat...
Fairly typical to see storms in May and June here. This is our typical severe weather season, though these storms are only slight risk of severe weather. #NEwx

Some weak thunderstorms and showers persist across much of northern and western Nebraska tonight #NEwx
