Severe Weather: Feb. 9 Update #2

The strong dry slot that has worked its' way through Kansas, Missouri and not well into Iowa has considerably dampened the possibilities of thunderstorms, let alone severe thunderstorms. The best risk has worked its' way to the north or right along the warm frontal boundary across northern Nebraska and Iowa, this is where despite cooler temperatures at the surface there is still some potential instability present in the lower levels. A few thunderstorms may be able to develop in this area within the next few hours, with the severe threat still fairly minimal.

The remainder of the state will see clear or clearing skies, with temperatures soaring throughout much of the state into the 50s and 60s. Strong winds are also present, a Wind Advisory was issued for the southern half of the state as winds could reach 35-45 mph later this afternoon and evening. Expect warm temperatures and breezy conditions once again tomorrow, with highs near today's or even a few degrees higher in some locations.
