This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western and north 
central Nebraska.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and
evening across the Sandhills and north central Nebraska along with 
storms developing across the Panhandle and moving into western 
Sandhills and southwest Nebraska. Strong to severe thunderstorms will
be possible with damaging wind gusts and large hail being the main
concern, along with heavy rainfall. 

A second round of thunderstorms may develop later this evening and
overnight across portions of western Nebraska into the Sandhills and
eastward. Storms in the late evening and overnight will still pose a
risk for damaging winds, large hail and a secondary threat of heavy
rainfall. 

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

Scattered thunderstorms are likely in the late afternoon and evening
Thursday, mainly for areas west of Highway 83. A few storms may be
severe with damaging wind gusts the main concerns though large hail
is also possible. Activity may persist late into the overnight
Thursday into Friday, including the threat for severe, but 
confidence in this is limited at this time.

Much warmer temperatures are expected early next week with
consecutive days of afternoon highs in the upper 90s to low 100s
forecast for Sunday through Wednesday. Folks sensitive to excessive 
heat should continue to monitor later forecasts for additional 
details.
