Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Moorefield, NE

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/
Issued at 414 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025

The main concern in the short term will be the chance for severe weather late this afternoon/evening and Tuesday afternoon/evening. For today there is an isolated chance of thunderstorms to move to western Nebraska. As a shortwave trof continues to move eastward across WY into NE a few isolated thunderstorms will develop and push into western Nebraska and the northern Sandhills from WY and SD. There is a slight risk across the far northwest Sandhills late this afternoon and evening that an isolated storm could become strong to severe. The main concern will be strong to damaging winds.

The greater concern for severe weather will be Tuesday as storm coverage will impact more area with nearly all of western and north central Nebraska in a slight risk for severe thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Storms are expected to be more scattered to even potentially widespread by evening hours. A cold front will sag southward into northern Nebraska by afternoon, ahead of the front the environment will have southerly winds, with warm temperatures as highs reach the upper 90s across southern Nebraska. 0 to 6km shear will be around 25 to 30 kts with MU CAPE around 1500 to 3000 J/kg.
Storm mode will start off as more discrete storms then storms may form more linear as they move east into the eastern fringes of the CWA The main hazards will be damaging winds and hail, however a tornado or two can't be ruled out. For the 2% Tornado potential, this will generally be early on when storms are more discrete, as the afternoon/evening progresses storms will become more clustered and tornado potential decreases. Storms should be mostly out of the CWA by midnight as storms continue eastward into central and eastern Nebraska.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/

This is around 10 to 20 degrees below normal. Cool temperatures continue into Thursday with highs in the 70s. There will also be a chance for scattered thunderstorms on Wednesday with a marginal risk that some storms may be strong to severe in the afternoon and evening as the cold front continues to advance southward.
