While much of Kansas is experiencing drought conditions reminiscent of the Dust Bowl days, portions of Nebraska aren't too far behind. Consecutive days of warm, windy days has triggered fire hazard warnings for most counties in the Dorchester area.
Much of the Plains continues to fall further behind in needed precipitation. Here's the latest update from the UNL Drought Monitor.
The good news is moisture is expected soon, according to the Times' official weather outlet, AccuWeather. (It traditionally takes until mid-April until Mother Nature sends moist air to southeastern Nebraska.)
Friday afternoon and evening, April 14, will bring a 50% of thunderstorms to Saline County. Unfortunately, large hail and damaging winds could accompany the rainfall.
Saturday, which will feel more like early March with high temps only in the 40s, will bring a 55% chance of rain.
By mid-week next week, we are expected to have a chance of rain every day, from Wednesday through the following Monday -- with a better than 50% chance most days.
Pray for rain.
