Severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued for multiple counties in Nebraska and Iowa, including Douglas, Sarpy, Pottawattamie, Lancaster, Saline and Seward.
A tornado warning was issued for eastern Douglas County and southwestern Pottawattamie County, expiring at 5 p.m. CDT.
Flash flood warnings are in effect for southeastern Douglas County and west central Pottawattamie County until 7:45 p.m. CDT.
Monday is predicted to be another day of severe weather, with all modes of severe weather possible, including tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center has placed a 15%-30% chance for severe weather.
Isolated severe storms are possible to the southwest on Thursday, with damaging winds and large hail as the primary concerns.
Why this matters: Severe weather can cause significant damage and pose risks to personal safety. Staying informed and prepared can help mitigate these risks.
The severe weather is due to a strong storm system moving through the middle of the country. Ahead of this system, temperatures are rising into the 80s, creating a muggy environment. Southerly winds could gust over 40 miles per hour, increasing the risk of severe weather. The primary threats include tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding. Several areas are expected to receive 1 to 2 inches of rainfall by Friday morning.
Looking ahead to Monday, the Storm Prediction Center indicates a 15%-30% chance of severe weather, including tornadoes. Residents should monitor forecasts and be prepared to take shelter if necessary.
Flash flooding has already been reported, with video showing water rushing outside Good Shepherd Lutheran School in Omaha. Lincoln Electric System reported power outages affecting nearly 2,000 people, although the outage was resolved quickly.
How to Prepare:
Stay informed by monitoring local news and weather alerts.
Have a plan in place for seeking shelter during severe weather.
Ensure you have a supply of essential items, such as water, food, and a flashlight.
Charge electronic devices and have a way to receive alerts if power is lost.

People living in areas prone to flooding.
