The updated SPC severe weather outlook for tonight has removed ALL of Nebraska from the "marginal" risk area...good news ! https://t.co/NqYELU4d0A

Here's a look at high temperatures from around the state today...with most cities reaching the 90s, including Lincoln with a high of 94°, which is our HOTTEST of the year so far...the state high of 95° was shared by Norfolk...Tekamah and Omaha... https://t.co/scSBPKklnE

...and the latest 8-to-14 Day Precipitation Outlook plays its cards pretty close to the vest...with the "gray" across much of Nebraska and Kansas indicating that ABOVE NORMAL...BELOW NORMAL...or AVERAGE precipitation all have "equal chances" of occurring over that time period... https://t.co/8tvmVuhkX2

Heading beyond the current 7-Day...the latest 8-to-14 Day Temperature Outlook continues to give our region a "better-than-average" chance for ABOVE NORMAL readings...for June 19th through June 25th..."average" highs during this period are in the mid-to-upper 80s... https://t.co/cIGvFj5TWk

Looking down the road...our weather pattern will be "static" over the next week...with warm and humid conditions pretty much each day...upper 80s to low 90s for highs...65°-to-70° for lows...and at least small 'storm chances each day, better 'storm (severe?) chances next week... https://t.co/8Ca9sc7mWv

The severe weather threat for Friday takes it up a notch...with a "slight" risk area over portions of western and southwestern Nebraska...with a "marginal" risk area located in the central part of the state...stay tuned... https://t.co/x9xj7jomLD

...and the severe weather threat for Thursday includes a "marginal" risk for a much larger area of the state...mainly late-afternoon and into the evening...for isolated severe 'storms capable of producing large hail and damaging winds...if updates are needed, we'll let you know. https://t.co/WIgyO9iTFp

...however...the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK does put parts of northeast and north central Nebraska in a "marginal" risk for some isolated severe thunderstorms later this afternoon and into the evening...we'll keep you updated... https://t.co/ai2ZtjZeas

...and some minor precipitation has been noted across some parts of far northern Nebraska...but nothing significant as of yet... https://t.co/7lkiIjKX2b

...with wind "gusts" between 20 and 30 mph right now... https://t.co/SV16y2nnVq

...and while not "uncomfortably high" for most folks right now...the dew points have risen into the lower 50s-to-lower 60s, so you might be feeling some of that as well... https://t.co/hHJItQlqra

...here's a look at other readings from around the state early this Wednesday afternoon...with "90s" dominating the board at this hour..."noticeably" cooler across the north and northwest with a frontal boundary in those areas... https://t.co/wcpj5zEDfg

At 2pm in Lincoln...the airport hits 93°...that makes today the WARMEST day of the year so far...with a couple more degrees likely to get added this afternoon...a southwest breeze is helping to move the air around...but you might be "feeling" that dew point in the lower 60s... https://t.co/A1zLVNCwDd
