Nebraska Forecast Calling for Wild Weekend
05/07/2015

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Nebraskans on opposite sides of the state are likely to see vastly different weather conditions this weekend.

Omaha National Weather Service meteorologist Josh Boustead says the eastern half of the state can expect strong storms with heavy rain, hail and high winds starting Saturday afternoon into Sunday. He says those storms will also bring a possibility of tornadoes and flooding throughout the region.

But in western Nebraska, residents should be prepared to break out their snow shovels by Mother's Day.

Meteorologist Rob Cox with the weather service's Cheyenne, Wyoming office says the Nebraska Panhandle is expected to get between 3 inches and 5 inches of snow by Sunday evening - and those at higher elevations in far northwest Nebraska could see up to 8 inches.
