Storm chance Friday into very early Saturday

Storms are possible overnight into early Saturday morning, then drying out for the weekend. Temperatures cool off a little, too.

If you’re headed to the first High School Football Game of the season, you may have to dodge a shower or storm or two. It’ll be warm and muggy, too!

If you’re headed to Memorial Stadium for the concert on Saturday, it’s looking like a nice night! Partly to mostly cloudy skies are expected with just a small chance for storms. It’ll be warm and muggy, though.

There is a threat for severe weather across parts of Nebraska late Friday into early Saturday. Large hail, damaging wind, and isolated tornadoes are possible. Not everyone will see severe weather, but if a storm can get going, it may get severe.

Above is what our StormCast weather model is saying for timing, duration, and location of the storm chances Friday night into Saturday.

Saturday afternoon will see highs in the 80s for much of the state. That’s actually a little below average!
