Storm chances remain in the forecast through the end of the week, but Thursday will bring a break with warm and sunny conditions.
With plenty of sunshine, temperatures on Thursday will rise well above average, with highs reaching the 70s and 80s compared to the typical mid-60s for this time of year.
A cold front is expected to move across the state on Friday, bringing much colder air to western areas while southeastern Nebraska remains warm.
Early Friday morning could be cold enough for a brief period of light snow in far western Nebraska.
By mid-afternoon Friday, parts of southeastern Nebraska may see strong to severe storms, though these are expected to move quickly eastward out of the area.
Most weather models indicate the highest severe weather risk will stay just southeast of the region, but conditions will be close enough to monitor closely.
There is also a slight chance of a rain-snow mix early Saturday in areas like Lincoln, followed by a cooler afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to rebound quickly after the brief cooldown, with warmer conditions returning soon after.
