Omaha, NE – Nebraska residents should prepare for the possibility of severe thunderstorms Sunday afternoon, with the greatest risks coming between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m., according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Omaha/Valley.
According to the NWS, storms will be scattered and spotty, but any that do form could produce large hail and damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph. While all severe weather threats are possible, the tornado risk is considered low but focused in central Nebraska, where forecasters have noted a 2% chance.
The weather service said there is a 30–50% chance of thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening, and a 5–10% chance that an individual storm could become severe. The forecast suggests that while many areas may end the day dry, localized impacts could be significant where storms do develop.
Residents planning outdoor activities are urged to stay weather-aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings, especially during the late afternoon and evening. The NWS recommends monitoring official updates and being prepared to move indoors quickly if storms approach.
