A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in place for SE Nebraska through 11pm Saturday evening.
Storms will have the potential for hail and damaging wind. An isolated quick spin up tornado is possible, but more likely into Kansas where there's a Tornado Watch.
The Watch Before the Watch - June 13, 2026:
We will likely see a tornado watch for a handful of counties in southeast Nebraska soon.
Storm coverage will increase in the next couple of hours and move east. #NEwx#KLKN
BANANA FORECAST! June 13, 2026
Storms are possible Saturday afternoon and there's a small chance some of that may linger into the 6pm time frame. After that, the sky clears out and temperatures cool off. Hoping for a really fun night of Banana Ball!
On Saturday, storms will try to form in the green shaded "Marginal Risk" around mid afternoon. Then into the yellow shaded "Slight Risk", becoming stronger, then into the orange shaded "Enhanced Risk", where the greatest threat for severe weather will be.
A level 1 "Marginal Risk" has been added to much of the eastern half of Nebraska for the overnight hours, very early Saturday, June 13, 2026.
RISKS: This is a large hail potential. Not everyone will see hail, but storms that can get severe will have isolated 1-1.5" hail in them.
There is a level 3 "Enhanced Risk" for severe storms in central and northern Nebraska Tuesday evening, then a level 2 "Slight Risk" surrounding it. Timing will be late afternoon into the evening.
It is going to be HOT today. A HEAT ADVISORY is in place from 1pm through 9pm Tuesday, June 9th for temperatures in the mid 90s this afternoon and a heat index in the 105 to 108 range.
There is a Marginal and Slight risk for severe weather Friday.
Models aren't agreeing with timing/location, but overall it looks like storms form by late afternoon and could linger for most of the night.
Hail, wind, heavy rain, and isolated tornadoes are possible.
