034 FXUS63 KGID 141914 AFDGID Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hastings NE 214 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Mostly dry conditions are favored through the end of the workweek. - Near to above-normal temperatures return by midweek. - Better chances for thunderstorms return to the area Saturday night into next Sunday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 213 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 There will be a few opportunities for sprinkles or light rain showers this week, but widespread or "meaningful" rain is not expected. The 12Z global ensembles show a 60-90% chance for less than 0.10" of total rainfall through Friday. The first opportunity for sprinkles will be tonight into Monday morning, followed by another opportunity for spotty showers and weak t-storms Monday night. Temperatures will trend warmer through midweek (90s to low 100s on Wed). That said, humidity remains quite low through Wednesday, so heat index values should remain below 100 degrees for the entire area. A shortwave will move through the region on Wednesday, but the bulk of the rain/t-storms should remain to our east. This shortwave will bump temperatures down a bit for Thursday, but near to above- normal temperatures return for the weekend. Ensembles continue to advertise reasonably high chances for rain/t-storms returning next weekend (June 20-21st) as a shortwave moves through the central/northern Plains. Of course, details remain pretty uncertain at this time range, this could feature at least some severe weather. The 00Z CSU-MLP severe probs have a 5% contour across much of the region on Saturday. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1224 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026 For KGRI/KEAR Airports: VFR conditions are expected to prevail.
