Another temperature tease Tuesday before the summer heat returns later this week
HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - Much warmer this evening compared to yesterday as we had a lot more sun than clouds compared to Sunday. But as we head into the overnight, the clouds will be increasing in cover thanks to a disturbance that has already triggered showers and thunderstorms over the High Plains out west. The risk for severe weather will stay west of the Local4 viewing area as these storms will weaken as they push eastward into central areas overnight into tomorrow morning. Here in the Tri-Cities we are looking at a 20% to 30% chance of showers 2AM and 6AM. Things will dry out for central areas early morning but some of this rain may linger in eastern spots until late morning. By tomorrow afternoon, much of the rain should diminish with just a small chance into the afternoon and evening. Extra clouds in the east could keep temperatures down in the 70s and lower 80s for highs on Tuesday. Meanwhile, more sunshine is expected in the west where temperatures could rise into the mid to upper 80s with 90s returning to the Panhandle.
