Lincoln, Nebraska – Thunderstorms could intensify across southeast Nebraska on Tuesday, potentially bringing damaging winds, hail, and localized flooding that may disrupt travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley, conditions will become favorable for severe weather beginning Tuesday afternoon, June 3, especially across areas like Lincoln, Beatrice, and Nebraska City. While the exact timing and storm strength remain uncertain, the agency has placed parts of the state under a 15% risk zone for severe weather within 25 miles of any point.
Cities including Falls City, Auburn, and Hebron should be prepared for sudden downpours, gusty winds, and brief power outages. Outdoor events and road travel could be impacted if storms develop during peak commuting hours. Residents are urged to review severe weather plans, secure loose outdoor items, and monitor updates from local emergency management.
This could mark one of the stronger early-June systems for southeast Nebraska, a region that typically sees an uptick in convective activity during this time of year.
Storms may last into the evening hours. More details are expected as model confidence increases. Stay tuned to the National Weather Service for updates through Tuesday.
