Temperatures this morning started out in the chilly upper 30’s and lower 40’s in most areas, but sunshine helped warm readings into the middle to upper 70’s this afternoon. And we will still have one more very chilly night before a major warm-up, and by Sunday it will feel very much like summer again.
Tonight will be clear with lows falling into the lower 40’s.
Then Saturday will be bright and sunny, and a light southerly wind will quickly boost temperatures into the middle to upper 80’s by late afternoon. Low humidity will make it quite pleasant for any outdoor activities.
Saturday night will be clear and comfortable with lows around 50.
Then on Sunday, a southwesterly breeze coupled with lots of sun will raise temperatures well into the 90’s in many areas, and even a few upper 90’s are possible. In addition, low humidity and breezy conditions could raise the fire weather threat, so stay tuned.
Unfortunately, it is necessary to make some changes to the forecast for Labor Day Monday. A cool front that originally looked like it would not move through Greater Nebraska until the afternoon and evening on Monday now looks like it will move through Sunday night into Monday morning. This will cause three changes to the forecast. First, I now need to introduce a very slight chance of a thunderstorm for overnight Sunday into Monday morning. However, because the air will still be quite dry, the risk will be very minimal. Second, highs will be cooler and probably stay in the 70’s in many areas. Third, and probably most important, it will be quite windy with winds gusting up and over 35mph at times. So some outdoor plans may be affected, especially because of the cooler temperatures and the windy conditions.
