A cold front pushed through Greater Nebraska late this morning and this afternoon, and is now bringing a bit more comfortable conditions with temperatures lowering a bit and humidity coming down a notch. However, the front was delayed by a few hours, and this delay allows highs to soar into the 90’s once again across southwestern Nebraska, and Imperial reached the century mark for the second day in a row.
The front is through now, but a disturbance over Colorado is triggering showers and thunderstorms, and a few of these could move into southwestern Nebraska through the first part of the overnight. Skies for the most part will be partly cloudy and it will be more comfortable than last night with lows in the 60’s.
Thursday will be a nice day overall with sunshine, light winds and highs in the 80’s, and humidity levels will be a bit lower.
Enjoy Thursday because by Friday, the heat will begin to return and once here, it may last into next week with perhaps another slight break on Sunday. Also, expect the chance of isolated thunderstorms to be with us Friday through the weekend.
Next week’s weather will depend on the strength of an upper-level ridge of high pressure, which will be situated over the southern Plains. If the ridge is only moderately strong, it will allow disturbances passing to our north to affect our weather with the chance of showers and thunderstorms daily, though we can expect it to be very warm to hot with highs in the 90’s. However, if the ridge is stronger, we could have a true heat-wave with sunny, dry conditions and highs well into the 90’s or even into the 100’s for much of this week. Right now, I am going with the idea that the ridge will not be too strong, so a bit hot with some thunderstorms, but this could change so stay tuned.
