Thank you for joining us. A lot of factors are going into determining just how severe our weather will become. Lets begin now with jason for the very latest. Jason scattered stuff and a broader view of super doppler 8 radar showing the huge scattered mess in areas to the west, just southeast of lincoln. One severe storm and we will continue to watch the cloud cover. We have breaks in the south. That will increase the heating and instability needed to punch up some of those robust storms. Over the next hour or so, we should see more start to shoot up and increase the potential or strong to severe storms and some could be having tornadic potential. A tomato watch out until 6 00 p. M. For central and southwestern portions of the state. These storms should follow up ship fire up individually before shooting east. They put a bullseye from des moines eastward, but we will soon have that chance of stronger storms and i will track that with you, coming up. Mollie thank you, jason.

We find that veterans today are not as appreciated as they i think it helps that veterans and another National Holidays are particularly useful. Mollie George Elliott says on a day like today, everyone should take time to reflect on the men and women currently serving or who have previously served in the armed forces. In perry, veterans were honored for serving their country by being served up a free breakfast. Hyvee does a fantastic job, but i think its the recognition they get on this special day for veterans. Mollie world war ii veteran Mahlon Conaway joined friends and fellow veterans at the hyvee for breakfast. About 300 veterans and their spouses were expected this morning. As for the other 239 participating hyvee stores, they prepared enough food for 80,000 veterans today.

We are not seen it yet, but mainly through the afternoon between 3 00 to 4 00 in the metro and already in southwestern portions of the state. Watching for clearing out there, that will be the catalyst for stronger storms to pop up. We will keep you posted as that continues to develop. It looks like a cloudy day out there, a dreary day, but even a few peeks of sunshine that can help jump the temperatures up and provide the catalyst needed to get storms rolling. 63 is where we are at right now. As a head throughout the rest of the day, showers and thunderstorms are increasingly likely into the afternoon. We do taper the spot by the evening hours and he will likely start to chill out by 10 00 p. M. And see rain on the backside of this. For some extreme northwestern portions of the state, a snowflake or two is not out of the question. Can see the robust nature of the system, oyster and western parts of nebraska where they are seeing fairly heavy snow. We are seeing the abundant instability in southern portions of the state.

We are definitely in the mix for very strong wind tonight and into tomorrow. Lets take a look at the futurecast. As you head to the afternoon, you can see the huge line of storms form. The initial ones will likely be discreet, he will be out on their own. That is when you get the increased risk for tornadic activity. These should form into a line as they pushed forward and we could see gusty wind with that. There are a few embedded areas along with that line of storms. Heres the backside rain and it moves through, not much of a threat after that. We should see rain with it and then clouds but eventually clearing. Once that does so.
