If you plan on going out to enjoy the 80 degree temperature on Saturday, do it before a bad weather in the afternoon.

A storm system, including high winds, rain and some hail, is expected to enter the Omaha subway in the middle of the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service of Valley. So, beware of athletic condition lovers: The weather could affect some of the last events of the day.

"I think the biggest threat could be at 2 pm and after," said weather forecaster Scott Dergan.

The storm system could result in lightning, says Dergan – most storms at this time of year offer this potential.

The risk of heavy storms, which end around midnight Saturday, runs along Interstate 80 and south of it, the meteorological service announced. Heavy rainfall can occur locally with storms, which increases the risk of flooding.

The weather threat delayed the start of the Nebraska-Michigan State baseball game on Friday night by approximately one hour and 45 minutes.

Dergan said Sunday would be another story. There is a possibility of showers that morning, but the rest of the day must be calm with a maximum of 60 – a radical turnaround compared to two days ago when temperatures reached a record 95 degrees .

"The weather is very changeable right now," Dergan said.

Early risers and light sleepers have morning thunderstorms from about 4:00 am to 8:00 pm Saturday morning that should cause gusts of wind and hail.

But this short storm will be nothing compared to what Central and North Nebraska faced on Friday.

A group of powerful supercells in central Nebraska produced several tornadoes that caused material damage and attracted camera-ready storm hunters from across the country.

No injuries or significant injuries were reported at 21:30. On Friday, national and national weather agencies reported that the tornadoes – which had generally settled along a trail from McCook northeast of Broken Bow – had overturned power lines, damaged trees and pivot irrigation and grain silos.

The storm system began in Atwood, Kansas, and headed northeast to Nebraska. The first tornado was reported at 18:02. about 9 miles northeast of Culbertson and 9 miles northwest of McCook, according to the office of the National Weather Service at North Platte. McCook is about 4 ½ hours drive southwest of Omaha.

From there, tornadoes were reported all night in several places: all over Frontier County; near Farnam, Cozad and Eddyville in Dawson County; and south of Oconto in Custer County.

Jeremy Wesely, a meteorological meteorologist at Hastings, said the tornadoes were caused by a group of two to three welded storms.

"It was sort of a group of supercells," he said.
