Hazardous Weather Outlook For GOSPER County, Nebraska

959 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

 DAY ONE  Tonight.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 2 AM for a large 
part of south central Nebraska, and Phillips, Smith and Jewell 
counties in north central Kansas. Thunderstorms through the early
overnight hours could produce hail from quarter to golf ball 
size. There may be some wind gusts over 45 mph at times. The 
thunderstorms will move north and east across the areas and likely
diminish in intensity after 2 AM.

Very heavy rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour could result 
isolated areas of flooding through the overnight hours. 

 DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN  Friday through Wednesday.

The main upper level disturbance will only slowly shift through 
the outlook area on Friday, so another round of strong to severe 
thunderstorms will be possible, especially if development occurs 
as early as late morning or early afternoon. Large hail, damaging
wind gusts, and a few tornadoes will all be possible from late 
morning through late afternoon. Areas from around and to the east
and northeast of the Tri-Cities have the greatest risk.

Additional off and on thunderstorms are possible late Saturday
afternoon into Sunday, and again Tuesday evening into Wednesday.
Severe weather chances continue into Saturday, particularly for
areas around and to the east and south of the Tri-Cities.

Non-thunderstorm south to southwest wind gusts of 40 to 45 MPH 
will be possible Friday afternoon, particularly for areas along 
and south of the Platte River.

 SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT  

Spotters are encouraged to report any instances of severe weather
that may develop today and tonight.
