Mainly between midnight and sunrise Monday, our entire forecast area stands at least a slight chance of spotty thunderstorms, but with the overall-highest chances and potentially most widespread coverage favoring Nebraska counties along and north of Interstate 80. Although most storms overnight should be fairly weak, a few could be strong to marginally severe, with the main threats being 50 to 60 MPH winds, and perhaps hail up to around the size of quarters. Any wind threat would be enhanced if storms are able to organize into a larger scale line or complex, but it is unclear whether this will occur. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. - Monday and Tuesday heat concerns: On Monday afternoon and early evening, heat index values across nearly our entire forecast area are forecast to reach at least 100 to 104 degrees, with some counties especially east of Highway 281 perhaps reaching 105 or slightly higher. Tuesday should be slightly cooler, but still with above-average heat, with limited areas mainly near and south of the Nebraska- Kansas border perhaps reaching a 100 degree heat index. - Monday severe thunderstorm potential: Mainly Monday evening-overnight, there is a chance for at least scattered thunderstorm across much of our forecast area. Some of these storms could be severe, with the main threats being wind gusts to around 60 MPH and hail up to around the size of quarters. - Additional thunderstorm chances: At least low-end chances for spotty storms exist Tuesday into Tuesday night, with additional, intermittent and potentially more widespread chances arriving between Thursday night and Saturday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are encouraged to report any hail, wind gusts of 50 MPH or higher, or localized flooding that might occur overnight. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$ Pfannkuch
