Heavy rain has moved into the area and will continue overnight. Flooding, especially in low-lying areas is very likely and may make travel difficult. Use extreme caution on the road overnight and plan plenty of extra time for your morning commute. TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!

Please stay #weatheraware as @NWSOmaha is predicting storms later today. How intense? TBD but be sure to have a plan and monitor updates this afternoon. All modes of severe weather are possible. 🌪️ ⛈️ @LancasterCo_Ne will be in a flood watch starting at 6p. @LancasterCoEMA

Today’s severe threat depends on how much clearing develops this afternoon. An isolated early-evening storm could produce very large hail, damaging winds, and a strong tornado. If storms cluster instead, hail and wind remain possible. Have multiple ways to receive warnings!
NWS graphic titled "Breaking Down Today's Severe Weather Risk" for September 14, 2026. The left side includes a morning radar image noting rain clearing west-to-east. A center callout notes that clearing sunshine and a weakening cap will increase storm risk. The right panel outlines two afternoon/evening scenarios: Scenario 1 (5–8 PM) featuring isolated storms with potential for very large hail, damaging winds, and strong tornadoes; Scenario 2 (4–10 PM) featuring clustered storms with lower tornado threats but ongoing wind and hail risks. Forecast confidence is high for storm development later in the day, but lower regarding final storm intensity and isolation.

An incredibly moving tribute to first responders yesterday at Memorial Stadium, leading the Huskers in the Tunnel Walk, and reenacting the Tunnel Walk from the first game after 9/11. This Tunnel Walk featured two people who had participating in the original 25 years ago: NSP Captain Dain Hicks and Sheriff Terry Wagner. Colonel Waugh and Captain Hicks were honored to walk alongside leaders from @Lincoln_Police, @LSOnebraska, @UNLPD, @lnkfirerescue, and the United States Military. Thank you, @Huskers and Husker fans for your unending support our first responders.

Deputies recently met with Chief Deputy County Attorney Chris Turner to learn more about the @LancasterCoAtty Office, how our agencies work together, and the importance of communication and collaboration. The discussion also gave deputies the chance to ask questions and strengthen partnerships that help us better serve Lancaster County.
