While our rain chances will continue into mid-day Tuesday… the heaviest rain will be staying to our south. Overnight Monday… Omaha picked up just over a tenth of an inch of rainfall… but nearly an inch fell in Shenandoah (Iowa)… and between 2 and 3 inches fell around Falls City (Nebraska).
Extreme southeast Nebraska and northwest Missouri can expect to see more rain (mostly light) into Tuesday afternoon… but those locations are no longer under a Flash Flood Watch. Flooding problems will be more likely from northern/central Kansas eastward into Missouri. They’ll see another round of thunderstorms and heavy rain late Tuesday into Wednesday.
While our rain will taper off in the metro during the day Tuesday… the clouds will persist into Wednesday and keep our highs in the upper 60 and lower 70s each day. Sunshine returns Thursday… taking us back into the upper 70s… but we’ll see our storm chances return from Friday through the upcoming weekend.

Is June set to be as active as it was last year?
Emma,
While some of our long range computer models are indicating that we’re about to see more stormy weather… it still looks not quite as stormy as last June. That shouldn’t be surprising… however… as June 2008 was extremely active.
Thanks for the question,
Chuck McWilliams
