Watch NBC Action News HD at 5, 6, & 10pm for as we track thunderstorms on LIVE:ESP!
Good afternoon! The past 24 hours have produced numerous complexes of thunderstorms across the region. Outside of the southwest side of the metro...many spots in the city have recorded very little rain over the past two days. That may change for some this evening as a cold front nears the area and will at least give us a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Part of the region from Nebraska to Kansas and Missouri is being monitored for a possible watch right now. If thunderstorms do head into the viewing area they would like reach far northern areas late this afternoon or in the early evening. Then start to move southeast and possibly form into more of a line. The greatest threat with the storms in regards to severe weather is hail and strong winds. If you have outdoor plans this evening...like going to the Roayls game. I would bring the rain gear with just in case. Usually if you haul the rain gear in the rain stays away...so a win-win.
Here is the area that is being monitored for a possible watch.
The cold front is still back in Nebraska. We will continue to see sunshine and warm into the mid 80s in most spots yet today with dew points in the mid 60s.
Just like the previous days some areas will likely see heavy rain this evening for a time while others will miss out all together. If you want rain hopefully you see some...because it may not be until next Thursday(ish) before a decent chance of rain returns.
Make sure to NBC Action HD for the most up-to-date information on the storms. If any of the storms turn severe we will let you know first!
