DISCUSSION

Issued at 1112 PM CDT Tue Jun 9 2026

Expect ongoing showers and thunderstorms to continue overnight, moving to the northeast. Small hail and gusty wind are the main concerns as they move through the region.

An upper trough moves into the region on Wednesday while a low over Saskatchewan moves east. An attendant cold front will be situated north/south over the Dakotas and into southern Nebraska. The cold front will move east through the day, not having a huge impact on high temperatures. Expect highs to reach into the low to mid-90s. A few showers/storms may develop in the afternoon/evening across the southeastern portion of Nebraska. Heading into the overnight hours, thunderstorms develop across southwestern Nebraska pushing to the east overnight. At the moment, the main concerns with storms will be large hail and damaging winds. An isolated tornado cannot be entirely ruled out of western Iowa and extreme southeastern Nebraska.

Heading into Thursday, cooler air filters into the region behind the front. Expect highs to top out in the 70s for areas north of the Hwy 92 and low to mid-80s for areas south of it. Any lingering thunderstorms are expected to exit the region from west to east through the morning.

Surface high pressure sets in on Friday with temperatures returning to the mid to upper 80s for most areas. Dry conditions are expected through the day.

Expect another chance for storms, a few of which may become strong to severe Saturday as another disturbance moves through the region.
