There were some gusty winds associated with this activity earlier on, but this has transitioned to a period of rain and possibly lightning being the main hazards. Overnight temperatures have dropped to the mid 60s to mid 70s. Winds are primarily out of the south at 5 to 15 mph. This precipitation activity extends into central to eastern Nebraska. The activity will continue to track to the east with another area of showers and storms developing along the Front Range into western Kansas this afternoon. Morning cloud cover from eastern Nebraska to the eastern half of Kansas and western Oklahoma should diminish with increased daytime heating. Afternoon high temperatures are forecast to climb to the mid 80s to mid 90s in the Central Plains with the highest values in southeast Colorado and southwest Kansas. Winds ahead of a weak cold front will be out of the south around 10 to 15 mph while they will switch to the north and be around 10 mph behind it. Chances for showers and storms persist into the evening and overnight hours across much of the Central Plains. A strong to severe storm cannot be ruled out with the best chances for severe storms in western Nebraska.
