6 FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: Strong storms continue overnight

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Tuesday is another 6 First Alert Weather Day as cooler air moves in firing up strong storm chances for the rest of the night. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in place for much of the viewing area until 7AM.

Spotty strong storms are ongoing as of 12AM and hit or miss potential will continue into the late night hours. Storms have had a history of producing large hail of 2″ or more and that will be the primary storm threat tonight. A tornado or two is also possible. Stay weather aware.

After 1AM a more widespread round moves in from the W may impact the Metro again. This is a line of storms moving in from Central Nebraska... As this rolls through the line may strengthen and bring a strong wind threat. That is dependent on how the line behaves as it moves ESE. Areas W and then SW and S of the Metro see the highest risk of being impacted by the line however it may also clip the Metro.

That threat does not end completely until around sunrise Wednesday, although it is likely S of the metro by 3AM. From there we enjoy a pleasant day. Highs will be cooler in the upper 80s Wednesday afternoon under sunny skies.

Thursday brings the potential for more rain with spotty AM showers and storms in the afternoon and evening hours along with cooler air and mostly cloudy skies.
