Friday's Weather Thoughts

An unsettled weekend is in store for Greater Nebraska, especially Saturday.

High pressure over Iowa and an upper-level low over Utah are working together to cause a southerly flow of moisture, and clouds are already beginning to increase across the viewing area. Showers and thunderstorms are prevalent over Texas northwestward into Colorado, where a trough is even causing some mountain snow. Eventually some of this southern moisture will cause showers to develop over our area, beginning after midnight then continuing through Saturday. A thunderstorm is also possible, and highs will hold in the 50’s due to abundant cloud cover.

The showers will continue into Saturday night, but as the upper low moves into Nebraska on Sunday, showers and thunderstorms will become more isolated and we should see more in the way of sunshine, so highs will get into the 60’s once again.

After a fair and pleasant Monday, active weather will return for the middle of next week with near seasonable temperatures. No return to the very cool temperatures of this past week are foreseen, and chances are good that frost and freezes are over until sometime next fall.
