Severe & Wet Weekend
By: Administrator
TORNADO WATCH issued until 7:00 pm.Numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue to move north through Nebraska this morning bringing periods of heavy rain to KELOLAND. This activity will push through this morning allowing for some breaks in the clouds (especially in south central South Dakota), but this will lead to more thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening. The afternoon and evening storms will likely be severe with the potential for tornadoes in south central KELOLAND. We’ll pay close attention this afternoon. Heavy rains will again be possible later this afternoon through tonight. Flood Watches blanket central and eastern KELOLAND with the potential for 4" or more of rain. Be alert for flooding problems too! As of 8:00 AM, the Storm Prediction Center upgraded central and south central Nebraska to a "HIGH" risk of severe weather while expanding the "MODERATE" risk a little farther north.Learn about the SPC’s SLGT, MDRT, HIGH risks here.Another round of rain will continue for tomorrow, though it doesn’t appear to be as widespread as today. A lot of tomorrow’s rain will be in eastern KELOLAND with scattered showers possible in central and western South Dakota. Some areas have already seen over 4" from Friday and Friday night…plenty more to come!
Stormy Weekend Weather
By: Administrator
Expect a busy weekend of weather across KELOLAND…with the potential for flooding rains, hail, and tornadoes. First, we have a tornado watch in effect for parts of southern KELOLAND until 10pm. Earlier this evening, the National Weather Service extended the watch to the north to include areas up to Huron.We also have flood watches in effect for much of southeast KELOLAND from Saturday night to Monday morning. A slow-moving cold front combined with upper level winds in the jet stream will produce several rounds of thunderstorms over the next few days. Severe weather will be possible, but heavy rain may turn out to be the biggest story. This set-up of weather will make widespread 2-5" of rain likely by early next week.The rainfall will be heavy in the west and the east. We do have the heaviest bulls-eye over Sioux Falls and the southeast…with the potential of 4 inches or more. Obviously, this would cause flooding problems and persons living in flood-prone areas should stay advised of the latest watches and warnings.
