Hastings, NE – A wave of spring weather is bringing multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms across Nebraska, with the greatest threat for strong to severe storms developing Thursday afternoon and evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Hastings, the most intense weather is likely near and south of the Nebraska-Kansas state line. A few storms could reach severe levels, bringing hail, gusty winds, and heavy rainfall. Temperatures across the region will range from highs in the upper 50s to low 70s through Saturday, with overnight lows dipping into the 30s and 40s.
Friday will see lingering showers and possible thunderstorms during the morning, primarily affecting central and southern counties including Hastings, Superior, and Red Cloud. On Saturday, periodic showers are expected throughout the day, keeping conditions damp and cooler, particularly across southeastern Nebraska.
Residents are advised to monitor local alerts and prepare for shifting conditions, especially in areas prone to flash flooding. Drivers should use caution on slick roads, and outdoor plans may need adjustment due to potential lightning and storm activity.
This pattern aligns with typical late-April variability, but residents should remain weather-aware due to the severity potential south of the Kansas border.
