Weather Summary for Portions of the Central Plains
National Weather Service Hastings NE
645 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024

As we bid farewell to this Regional Weather Summary product here at
NWS Hastings after decades of daily issuance...we will focus our
attention on the first two days of July...Monday and Tuesday.
Starting with Monday...the two big stories are a return of
heat...and a late afternoon and evening risk for severe storms.
Covering the heat first...the day will actually start quite
cloudy...with possible drizzle and a few showers or weak
thunderstorms. Depending on how long it takes skies to gradually
clear from south to north...it could take much of the day for things
to truly heat up. However...eventually we should see high
temperatures soar into the 90s for most counties south of Interstate
80...with parts of Kansas even touching 100. Heat index readings
could top out around 105 degrees in several counties near and south
of the state line...where a Heat Advisory will be in effect. For
Nebraska counties along and especially north of Interstate 80...it
will not be as hot...but it will still be warmer than today with
highs into the 80s. Turning to severe thunderstorm potential...while
most of Monday daytime will be storm-free...especially the 4 to 10
PM time frame could feature a rapid development of at least a
few...and possibly several severe storms...with the main hazards
being large hail and damaging winds. Although our entire coverage
area is at least under a small risk for severe storms...Nebraska
counties appear to be overall more under the gun than our northern
Kansas counties. Turning to Tuesday...the majority of our area will
be 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Monday behind a passing cold
front...with most places topping out between the low 80s and low
90s...although far southeast parts of our coverage area...especially
around Beloit Kansas...will still be plenty hot into the mid to
upper 90s. As for severe storm potential Tuesday...MOST of our area
stands a much lower risk than on Monday...but far southeast counties
could be clipped in the afternoon or early evening by a few severe
storms along the advancing cold front.

A FAREWELL NOTE: After a long run spanning well over two decades, we
at NWS Hastings have decided to discontinue the daily issuance of
this "legacy" Regional Weather Summary text product. We apologize to
those of you out there who might miss it, including our loyal NOAA
Weather Radio listeners. However, in this day and age of more and
more ways to access weather information, we encourage you to turn to
other great resources from us here at NWS Hastings, both written and
graphical, that you can access through our web page
(www.weather.gov/hastings) and our social media feeds (X/Twitter and
Facebook). These resources include, but are not limited to: our Area
Forecast Discussions, Hazardous Weather Outlooks (both text and
graphical), and also various graphics that we routinely post to
social media.
