HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - If you are tired of wearing the heavy air we have had the past several days, well, I have some good news. Just one more evening of the sultry summer heat before we get a nice break from the thick sticky air. That’s right. Some cooler weather will be settling in for the rest of this week. Before we get to that nicer weather we do have to endure this evening as temperatures will still be steamy in the 90s for areas along and south of the interstate. You’ll want to take it easy this evening as those heat index values will still be dangerous. Especially in eastern and southern parts of the Local4 viewing area. A cold front will continue moving south overnight allowing for the drier and cooler air to spread across the state. With enough stability still in place along with a disturbance moving through western Nebraska, showers and storms will fire up later tis evening out west and then move east overnight. A few storms could become severe later this evening. The best chance for severe weather will be generally west of the Tri-Cities. The primary threats will be quarter size hail and 60 MPH damaging wind gusts. This activity will weaken as it moves east in Central Nebraska. Just a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm overnight. However, storms that ride along and south of the Nebraska/Kansas line could hold together affecting our north central Kansas counties. As for temperatures overnight, lows will range from the mid 60s north to low 70s south.
