The beginning of the end of this weeks-long cool period will begin Friday.
The area of low pressure that has plagued our weather since Tuesday evening has now moved far enough east to begin losing its grip on Greater Nebraska. Skies tonight will turn partly cloudy, but fog will develop later and may become quite dense in spots so caution is advised if driving. Lows will fall into the 40’s.
Friday will start will fog, some of it dense, but the fog should burn off by late morning or early afternoon and skies will be mostly sunny with highs in the middle 70’s with breezy conditions developing. If the temperature gets to the predicted 74, it will be the first time since May 4th (when the high was 77) that the high was above average.
A front approaching the area Friday night will stall to the north and west of the viewing area, but could be close enough to set off an isolated thunderstorm over our western zones with lows in the 50’s.
The summer-like warmth will develop Saturday as a warm front pushes through, and ushers in air that originated over the southwest desert areas. Skies will be mainly sunny and it will be breezy, but highs will reach the middle 80’s to perhaps 90 in a few spots.
Sunday will be a bit cooler as a bit more in the way of clouds and a wind shift cause highs to rise to the upper 70’s to lower 80’s, still a warm day. In addition, an isolated thunderstorm could develop but it should not be enough to disrupt outdoor plans for the most part.
Thunderstorms will be possible early next week, but warm temperatures will continue.
