Today was mainly sunny and quite warm with highs in the low 80’s over many areas, and winds became quite gusty during the afternoon. Tonight will still be quite mild with lows not much below 60 as clouds increase, and winds will remain gusty.
By Tuesday, a cold front to our west will progress slowly eastward throughout the day. This front will cause southerly winds to increase further, and by afternoon winds will be gusting past 40mph over the entire area. During mid-afternoon, thunderstorms will begin to develop to our west, possibly a squall-line, and as this line progresses toward Greater Nebraska some storms may become strong to potentially severe, with damaging winds, and perhaps large hail and an outside chance or an isolated tornado.
Showers and thunderstorms, some perhaps strong, will continue into Tuesday night and then begin to die down once past midnight. By Wednesday, the front will be to our south and east, and partly cloudy skies with highs near 70 will be the rule. However, during Thursday the front will begin to lift north over the area, and showers and thunderstorms may develop and continue until Friday morning. Friday and the weekend is looking nice with sunshine and highs near 60.
Stay tuned to News 2 for the latest on Tuesday’s storm potential.

Hey Mike it is Roger Kummert formerly of UST. Glad to see your weather dreams realized. I was wondering what happened to you. I got the scoop from Fran.
