Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Hastings NE 400 PM CDT Fri May 5 2023 KSZ005>007-017>019-NEZ039>041-046>049-060>064-072>077-082>087- 062100- 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- 400 PM CDT Fri May 5 2023 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and portions of north central Kansas. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon into tonight across much of south central Nebraska and portions of Phillips, Smith, and Rooks Counties in north central Kansas. There is a marginal risk of severe weather that includes most of the rest of the area except Mitchell County in Kansas. The main threats with these storms will be hail up to the size of golfballs and wind gusts up to around 60 mph. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Between Saturday and Thursday, there are several, on-and-off chances for thunderstorms within various portions of the outlook area. Please note that many of these chances will likely fluctuate up or down in later forecasts, perhaps significantly, as this will be a rather complex weather pattern with regard to pinning down thunderstorm chances with much confidence, especially more than a day or two in advance. That being said, the least-favored time frame for thunderstorm activity, especially of the widespread variety, should focus between Saturday and Monday, and with an overall-low risk of severe storms with any activity that might occur during that time. Thereafter, a general increase in thunderstorm chances and coverage is then expected Tuesday through Thursday, as a larger- scale low pressure system gradually approaches from the west. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are encouraged to report any instances of hail, wind gusts over 50 MPH, or any other possible severe weather that might occur to the National Weather Service. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings
