Monday's Weather Thoughts

Memorial Day Weekend was not really too bad weather-wise in most areas for outdoor plans, but late-day storms Saturday and some clouds both Sunday morning and this morning likely either stopped or delayed some outdoor activities.

Looking into the rest of the workweek, it will be changeable and active. Tonight will be partly cloudy with the risk of an isolated thunderstorm with lows near 60. There is a better chance of storms later Tuesday and Tuesday night, some perhaps strong, as a front presses southward and through Greater Nebraska by Wednesday morning. Highs Tuesday will be in the lower 80’s under partly sunny skies.

The front will stall just to our south during Wednesday, which could start with some morning showers but will turn partly sunny with highs in the 70’s. The front will begin to move back northward as a warm front on Thursday, and as it does, it will tap into some very hot air over the southern Plains, where highs will be in the 100 degree range as close to our region as the panhandle of Texas. While air that hot will not reach this area, temperatures will begin to climb again Thursday, getting into the 80’s, and Friday could be very warm, with highs near or topping 90.

Right now, the weekend is looking nice after some morning storms on Saturday, and Sunday is looking mainly sunny and nice with highs near 80.
