The severe weather threat has decreased but still remains for Sunday night. Best chances wait until the evening and overnight hours. Hail and damaging winds are the primary threats.
Severe storms are possible across the area Monday, April 28th. Probability of severe weather increases from west to east. Large hail, damaging wind gusts, and strong tornadoes are expected to develop as the storms push into central Iowa. Storms could begin as early as 11am or linger as late as 8pm, but the timing for the greatest threat will be from 2pm to 5pm. Storms are likely in Iowa, but whether they develop in Nebraska first is still unknown.
