An Unsettled Start To The Weekend

The weekend weather will not start out very nice, but Sunday will be salvaged.

The upper-level low that has been on the weather map since last weekend is now located over Colorado, and it is slated to move slowly over Greater Nebraska tonight thorough the day Saturday. The low is already producing showers and a few thunderstorms over the region, and the activity will likely affect local sports events this evening, so please take some rain gear and keep an eye to the sky if you plan on being outside.

The risk of showers and storms will be with us through the overnight as activity rotates around the low, but the combination of clouds and higher humidity levels will only allow lows to fall into the 40’s.

Saturday will remain mostly cloudy, and as the low continues its slow drift across Nebraska, the threat of showers and possible a few storms will continue through the day. Highs will approach the 60 degree mark.

But by Sunday, the low will be far enough east so that skies will become partly sunny, and highs will rebound into the middle to upper 60’s, so not a bad day to end the weekend.

The nice weather will be short-lived as a cold front will approach from the northwest, raising the threat of showers once again with highs around 60. Then, another cold front will move through Tuesday night and Wednesday, and we can expect temperatures to cool down to below average behind it. The amount of cooling is still in debate, but certainly not mild weather is foreseen once we get past Sunday.
Enjoy the weekend, regardless of the weather.
