Football Weather...

Skies will clear by dawn and temps will fall into the teens overnight Thursday. Friday looks dry in North Platte and in Lincoln for the game. Temps will be in the upper 40s statewide with a wind out of the south 5-10.

Happy Turkey Day

Colder temperatures for Turkey Day with highs in the upper 30s and lower 40s. I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

Travel Day

Clear skies and cold conditions for Tuesday night, looking for lows in the lower 20s. Wednesday, one of the biggest travel days of the year will bring dry conditions and mild conditions. Highs will be in the upper 50s with winds out of the SW 5-10. A cold front rolls through here on Wednesday night a cold front comes through here dry but cools down temperatures for Thanksgiving. Highs on Turkey Day only in the upper 30s with a brisk Northwest Wind…

Thanksgiving Week Forecast

Dry and mild conditions for Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the 50s and lows in the teens and 20s. Thanksgiving Day we will see more in the way of clouds but nothing in the way of weather worries that would impact your trip to eat some turkey, highs on Thursday will be in the mid to upper 40s.

Friday we bring in some light snow, but I don’t look for much. So no travel issues if you’re going to Lincoln on Friday for the Colorado/Nebraska Tilt. It will be chilly on Friday though with highs only in the 30s, and the colder conditions will continue into the weekend but it will be dry.

Weekend Weather

Other than a few flakes in northern Nebraska, the rest of us will stay mostly clear. Lows Friday night will be in the upper teens, Saturday with sunny and mild conditions, most of us should make it into the mid to upper 50s. Sunday a weak cold front comes through but none of us will notice it, still sunny Sunday with temperatures near 50. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday look dry, sunny and mild with temperatures in the 50s for highs. The weather pattern turns colder right in time for thanksgiving with also a chance of snow.

Have a great weekend,
Thomas

Temps on Tuesday will be in the 60s and 70s across the area with sunshine. Will stay warm on Wednesday, and then winter returns on Thursday with cooler temperatures. There is a slight chance of snow Friday.

Windy For This Evening

Look for the wind to ease up as we head through Friday evening, will still have some scattered snow showers from time to time, temperatures will be on the chilly side Friday night as lows bottom out in the lower to mid 20s. Winds will be out of the NW 15-30 with gusts up to 45 early.

Saturday the football games look great! (Go Maxwell!) Sunny Skies and Temps in the low to mid 40s. Sunday looks warm and sunny, Highs in the 60s before we cool off again Monday.

Hold On To Your Hats

Light rain will change to light snow during the overnight Thursday and early Friday. A light accumulation my slick up some roads. Wind will be the bigger story as they will increase by dawn out of the northwest 30 to 40mph with higher gusts up to 65mph in open areas north and west of Paxton. Temperatures not going far Friday, only in the upper 30s and lower 40s.

Some More Snow On The Way...

Quiet conditions ahead for Wednesday night with partly cloudy skies the main rule. Lows will be in the low to mid 30s with a southwest wind 5-10. Thursday will start off the day with partly sunny skies then as we move into the day will see clouds on the increase. Highs still mild in the upper 50s and lower 60s with a southwest wind 5-15.

Thursday night, rain moves into the area at first, then its turns to a rain/snow mix and then eventually all snow. The good news out of all of this is little or no snow accumulation is likely with this system. The winds though will be an issue Thursday night and Friday and a wind advisory is likely. Highs will be chilly, only in the 30s.

Saturday is still looking dry for Maxwell (and in Hayes Center); cool though with temps in the 40s.

Good Morning…

Snow and at times sleet and freezing rain will be mixing in with the snow through at least mid-afternoon Tuesday. At the most an additional inch of snow is possible. But what you see on the ground is what you’re going to get for this snowstorm. That includes about 10 inches of snow in Southwest Nebraska. Temperatures will hold steady in the lower 30s with a northeast wind 5-10.

Take Care,
Thomas

We Have It All...

Snow sleet and freezing rain, were going to have it all Monday Night and Early Tuesday. 3-6 inches of snow is possible southwest of North Platte. 1-3 Inches of snow is possible north and east of North Platte where freezing rain, sleet and snow will mix in, cutting down on snowfall accumulations. Roads will be snow covered and slick across the area through early Tuesday. Please use caution while traveling.

Election Day Forecast

Hang on to your hats when you go out and vote, especially if you want to go after lunch. Temps Monday night will be in the 40s, Tuesday temperatures will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s. I believe that we will make it through most of Election Day dry.

Precipitation will roll in on Wednesday morning. Most of the day Wednesday looks wet with a possible rumble of thunder. Wednesday night starts the mess, not what the football coaches want to hear I know. I think for the Maxwell game, it’s going to be all rain, but in northern Nebraska (North Of HWY 2) it may go to all snow. And for Wednesday night and Thursday there could be some accumulating snow.

For the rest of the area, we may start seeing some snowflakes mix in Late Wednesday Night and early Thursday, but all and all I think this storm is a liquid event, especially south of I-80.

Wind with this storm will be the other story; at times starting Tuesday winds my gust to near 40mph through Thursday.
