THURS-FRI Heat: Afternoon heat index values will be at least 100-105° both days (overall slightly worse Friday), putting us right on the brink of possible Heat Advisory issuance. Whether or not Advisories are issued, please take any necessary heat-related precautions. #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Strong to severe storms will likely impact the area tomorrow afternoon and night, capable of producing 60 MPH gusts and up to ping pong sized hail. There is some uncertainty in regards to where storms will initiate. The overall best chances lie towards the southeast of the area.

WED-THURS Focus: 1) The good news: temps will gradually warm and widespread sunshine returns Thurs...2) The bad news: Although we are not expecting it be a major concern, spotty light freezing drizzle cannot be ruled out Wed AM...especially counties east of Hwy 281. #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Dry through mid-week, with increasing precipitation chances Thursday on into the weekend. Elevated fire weather concerns continue Monday afternoon with warmer temps & gusty west winds. Tuesday looking to have highs in the 50s area-wide. #newx #kswx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Warmer temperatures are expected Monday through Wednesday with highs in the 40s and 50s. Near critical fire weather conditions are expected on Monday as winds increase out of the west with gusts up to 25-30 mph. #newx #kswx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Spring-like temperatures are expected for much of the week, with high temperatures in the 40s and 50s. Chances for precipitation, mainly in the form of rain, return to the area on Thursday. #kswx #newx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Another nice day is expected today, with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Rain will transition to snow Monday evening with accumulations generally under an inch. Gusty winds are also expected on Monday with gusts of 35-50mph possible southwest of the Tri-Cities. #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

We expect dry conditions with above normal temperatures through at least Thursday. At this point a white Christmas seems rather unlikely with very little chance (<5%) of a winter storm system on the horizon before Christmas Day. #newx #kswx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Wintry precip (including freezing drizzle/rain) remains a possibility Friday afternoon-night, with some ice accumulation not out of the question! Best precip chances are mainly along/east of Highway 281. Uncertainties remain-stay up to date with the latest forecast! #newx #kswx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Dry tonight. Partly cloudy. Lows: 14-21. Thur highs: 24-36. Dry. Clouds clearing. E winds 10 mph. Chances for wintry mix Friday afternoon into Sat AM. Be prepared for possibly slick road conditions. Stay up to date with the forecast for Friday/Saturday. #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

A system passing through the area Friday afternoon will impact parts of the area, bringing a chance for all precipitation types (Rain/Snow/Freezing Rain/Freezing Drizzle). Their is a potential for up to just over 0.1" of ice for areas mainly north of HWY 6 and east of HWY 281.

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

A chilly next two days with the coolest temperatures concentrated towards the north and east. Wind chills overnight tonight could drop as low as -5 to 4 degrees. All forms of precipitation could be possible (rain/snow/ice) Friday followed by a warm up over the weekend. #NEWX#KSWX

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for portions of south central Nebraska along/east of Highway 281, where best potential for light icing exists. Prepare for slick conditions as the afternoon passes on Friday into the evening/overnight hours! #newx #kswx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

The average temperature on Monday was 30.5 degrees at Grand Island. Which makes today the coldest day we've seen in almost 8 months. Winter is coming! #NEwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Snow on Thanksgiving isn't common in central #NEwx and northern #KSwx, but it happens occasionally. Some light wintry precipitation is possible tonight into Wednesday, but is unlikely to be anything measurable.

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Light snow, possibly mixed with light rain and/or freezing rain moves through the area late tonight through Wednesday. Thanksgiving Day should remain dry and cool. Even colder air arrives for the weekend, along with another chance for light snow. #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Slight chances for snow flurries overnight. Brisk Monday. Highs: Upper 30s - lower 40s. NW winds 10-20 mph, gusts to 35 mph. Dry conditions. Mostly sunny skies. Tue highs: 45-51. Dry. Partly cloudy. S winds gust to 20 mph. Wed highs: 36-44. Light snow chances. #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

After a mostly dry weekend, rain returns to the area on Monday. Heaviest rain totals favor eastern parts of the area. No snow is expected. #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

A seasonably cool and occasionally unsettled period of weather the next few days. Best chance for widespread/beneficial rainfall Friday PM through Saturday AM. Nicer by Sunday! #NEwx #KSwx

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

Dry and pleasant weekend ahead, with warming temps on through Monday. An upper level system and surface cold front swing through on Tuesday, ushering in increased precipitation chances and cooler temperatures. #newx #kswx
