Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Hastings NE 821 PM CDT Wed Apr 19 2023 KSZ005>007-017>019-NEZ039>041-046>049-060>064-072>077-082>087- 210130- Phillips-Smith-Jewell-Rooks-Osborne-Mitchell-Valley-Greeley-Nance- Sherman-Howard-Merrick-Polk-Dawson-Buffalo-Hall-Hamilton-York- Gosper-Phelps-Kearney-Adams-Clay-Fillmore-Furnas-Harlan-Franklin- Webster-Nuckolls-Thayer- 821 PM CDT Wed Apr 19 2023 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and portions of north central Kansas. .DAY ONE...Tonight. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to move across the area between 10 PM and 4 AM. Hail up to golf ball size and damaging wind gusts over 60 MPH will be possible. The highest potential for severe weather exists along and southeast of a line from Alma to Grand Island to Columbus. Thunderstorms will exit the outlook area by dawn Thursday morning. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. Near critical fire weather conditions are likely Thursday afternoon, with possibly even critical fire weather conditions for most of the outlook area Friday afternoon. Frost and freeze conditions are increasingly likely later this week and into the weekend. The first round of near-freezing lows will come for areas around the Tri-Cities, north and west, Thursday night into Friday morning. Widespread sub-freezing temperatures in the 20s are forecast for Friday night into Saturday morning, but gusty winds will probably preclude frost formation. However, lighter winds and continued cold temperatures in the 20s will make frost formation more likely Saturday night into Sunday morning. Finally, chances for thunderstorms return to portions of the forecast area Tuesday into Tuesday night. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be needed tonight. Spotters are encouraged to report any instances of large hail or wind gusts greater than 50 MPH. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings
