It is made up of gently rolling hills. The Great Plains region of Nebraska is made up mainly of the treeless prairie. There are two main climatic zones in Nebraska. The state's eastern third has a humid continental climate. A unique warmer subtype, called "warm-temperate", is found near the southern plains.
This subtype is similar to the climates in Kansas and Oklahoma which have a predominantly humid subtropical climate. The climate is primarily semi-arid in the Panhandle and other areas near Colorado. There are wide variations in winter and summer temperatures within the state. These variations decrease as you move south. Tornadoes and violent thunderstorms are most common in spring and summer, but can also occur in autumn. Chinook winds tend to heat the state in winter and early spring.
