For the second straight night, severe storms brought damaging hail, winds and rain across Nebraska on Saturday.

National Weather Service radar detected a tornado about 10 miles west of Thedford in Thomas County just after 7 p.m. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

Meanwhile, severe thunderstorms descended on western Nebraska, including Chappell and Ogallala and near Lake McConaughy. Forecasts called for golf-ball sized hail and winds stronger than 60 mph before the storms make their way east.

Sunday's forecast wasn't looking much better with the National Weather Service calling for more rain and likely thunderstorms across much of the state.
