The US National Weather Service Omaha/Valley Nebraska has updated and increased the risk of our area seeing a tornado later today.

A substantial all-hazards severe risk is expected by mid-afternoon into this evening. Very large hail to 3.5 inch diameter, strong tornadoes, and intense wind gusts to 90 mph appear likely.

Now is the time to prepare and review your severe weather plan. Don't forget to charge those phones and ensure you have good batteries in a flashlight in the event we lose power.

The chance of a tornado developing this evening has climbed in east-central Nebraska (Omaha/Council Bluffs/Lincoln/Wahoo).

A quick look at our history suggests this is the highest forecast probability of a tornado in the Omaha area since June 2014.
