Unsettled weather is expected to continue on this Memorial Day after rainfall overspread the state for much of Sunday. A low pressure center will be centered near the Iowa and Minnesota border with an associated warm front extending off to the east and a cold front to the west. Much warmer weather is expected with temperatures into the upper 70s and low 80s thanks to generally southerly winds.
A cap will likely be in place early in the day which should hold off storms until early-to-mid afternoon. As peak heating occurs and instability works into the area, the cap should begin to erode and discrete cells form in Nebraska and trek northeast-to-east. These storms will likely be entering a volatile environment with large hail, damaging winds, and even an isolated tornado all possible. Storms should continue into the evening before weakening by the late evening and the overnight hours.
