Much Cooler This Weekend But With Sunshine

Indian Summer was in full swing today as highs reached the low to mid, and even upper 80’s in a couple of spots. But don’t expect a repeat performance for the weekend.

After a beautiful evening for all outside sports events, with temperatures in the 70’s falling into the 60’s later, expect mostly clear skies overnight with lows from the mid 30’s to mid 40’s across Greater Nebraska.

But a dry cold front will cross the region from the northwest overnight, and winds will turn northerly an become quite breezy with gusts up and over 30mph. Skies will be sunny, but highs will only reach the 60’s as cooler air flows in from the north.
The breeze will begin to diminish later in the afternoon, and by tomorrow night, winds will be light, skies will be clear, and this will allow lows to fall into the upper 20’s to lower 30’s region-wide.

Then Sunday will be mostly sunny with a light breeze, and highs will rebound slightly to around 70, so a pleasant day overall.

A stronger cold front will approach Sunday night, and skies will become partly to mostly cloudy, and there is a risk of a few showers which will continue into the day on Monday. Highs will stay mainly in the 50’s due to lots of clouds.

Sunshine will return Tuesday into late week and temperatures will moderate into the 60’s and 70’s.
