We are in a tornado watch! Everyone have your emergency plan and supplies ready to go. If you are traveling, have your travel plan timed so you are near shelter if needed.

Stay safe everyone!

Please remain vigilant, have multiple warning sources, and storm plan in place this afternoon and into the evening as the severe weather potential continues to develop.

The chance of a tornado developing this evening has climbed in east-central Nebraska (Omaha/Council Bluffs/Lincoln/Wahoo).

A quick look at our history suggests this is the highest forecast probability of a tornado in the Omaha area since June 2014.

We are in a severe thunderstorm warning until 10:30 PM. Everyone stay safe and weather aware!
