This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest

Nebraska and southeast Nebraska.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible overnight, with
damaging winds and locally heavy rain the main hazards.

Another area of storms is expected to increase in coverage and
move from north central and northeast Nebraska through eastern
Nebraska and southwest Iowa between midnight and 6 AM.

Wildfire smoke from Canadian fires will also be prevalent across

spotty thunderstorm chances return by Wednesday and beyond.
