    We’re getting closer to weather that is perfect for heading to the pool. Friday is looking pretty good, even warmer on Saturday!Before the warm weather arrives, it’ll be cooler on Thursday. Showers and storms are possible on Thursday, as well. Below is what our StormCast weather model is showing for timing, location, and duration of the storm potential. It doesn’t look like we’ll see a lot of rain, but an umbrella will be handy to have.

    This is the time of year when severe weather is possible. One of the more famous severe weather outbreaks happened during this time nearly 45 years ago in central Nebraska. On June 3rd, back in 1980, seven tornadoes ripped through the city of Grand Island. Hundreds of homes and nearly the entire southern business district was destroyed. After it was all said and done, there were five fatalities and a few hundred with injuries.

    We start to warm up on Wednesday. It will still be about 10 degrees below average, but yesterday we were 20 degrees below average. Some of us may make it into the lower 70s by the afternoon, but most of us will be stuck in the 60s much of the day. There will be plenty of cloud cover out there Wednesday, with the better chance for rain in the western half of the state.

    Rain is likely to let up as the evening wears on and into early Wednesday, but a tenth to a quarter inch of rain is still possible by then. We won’t be completely done with the rain on Wednesday. Some light rain will be possible on and off. Below is what our StormCast weather model is showing for timing, location, and duration of the storm potential. Temperatures will struggle once again. We’ll start out around 50 degrees and then warm up a little bit.

CHEERS TO 16 YEARS OF MARRIAGE! 🍾 Melanie and I are celebrating in Chicago, just one of the many adventures we’ve had. Can’t wait to see what the future holds. Any words of wisdom the next 16 years? https://t.co/0RxV1Od6Ew
