KEY MESSAGES

- Temperatures will be warmer yet for Monday.

- A few showers and thunderstorms are possible Monday evening in northeast Nebraska. Some storms may be strong or severe with a threat of 1" hail and 60 mph winds.

- A shift in the pattern brings cooler temperatures and daily chances of showers/thunderstorm activity to the region beginning Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY AND THE REST OF THE WEEK

Temperatures on Wednesday will be dependent on how far southwest the backdoor cold front slides as high pressure settles into the Great Lakes. Currently progged to fall shy - laying across IA/MN on Wednesday - it would leave us with highs in the 80s.

The front is expected to continue to sag south and pass through the area leaving temps cooler for Thursday into the weekend. This front stalled just south of the area should help produce some shower/storm activity. A few rounds of precip would be welcomed. Heavy rain concerns seem to be decreasing over the past 24 hours as the heaviest rain chances are narrowing to areas farther south.

Best chances of precip look to be Thursday (80% south) and Friday (60% everywhere).
