County officials will perform damage assessments today. The bulk of the damage is expected to be to the area's infrastructure. A hailstorm injured up to two dozen people and damaged hundreds of cars and houses. The storm, which hit the Scottsbluff area, smashed house and car windows and sent floodwaters into the area. Two people were rescued by boat in Jefferson County.
Officials report two people died in recent flooding incidents.
The storms on Sunday and Monday also impacted parts of Missouri, Minnesota and Iowa. Strong thunderstorms are also possible in the eastern Dakotas, western Minnesota and the northern parts of Iowa and Nebraska. NWS forecasters have identified an area of severe weather that involves all or part of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Colorado. Tornadoes are always a possibility with these types of systems. While the potential for severe weather exists throughout the day, NWS expects the most likely time for it to occur is later this evening or overnight.
