Your Weekend, And A Look Ahead To Next Week And Beyond

The weather system that affected us yesterday and last night would not release its grip, and today ended up being cloudy, with even a few snow and rain showers being reported, so a damp, cool day for sure. But the system is beginning to move eastward and clouds are now beginning to break over Greater Nebraska as high pressure takes hold.

So expect some clearing tonight, but along with the clearing some patchy fog may form so use caution later tonight. Lows will drop into the 20’s.

After some morning fog, Saturday should turn partly sunny and a bit breezy with highs in the 40’s. Sunday’s weather should be similar but perhaps a bit less breezy.
Overnight Saturday night should be mainly clear with lows in the teens.

Early next week, a series of fronts and disturbances will move through the region, perhaps producing a few rain and snow showers Monday through Wednesday. Highs should be in the 40’s and 50’s, perhaps dropping into the 30’s for Wednesday as a shot of colder air moves in.

Then fair skies with highs around 50 are expected later next week.

There are signs that some very frigid air building over the northern territories of Canada, and over Siberia, will begin to expand and move into Alaska and southward into western Canada. While it is not know exactly how this cold air will affect Greater Nebraska during Thanksgiving Week, it appears at least some of it will drop into the area to turn us colder, and if more of it is aimed for the Central Plains it could turn very cold here right around Thanksgiving. Stay tuned to KNOP News 2 and we will keep you posted.

Enjoy the weekend!
