Friday's Weather Thoughts

Summer doesn’t officially arrive for another month, but it will feel very much like summer on Saturday!

Tonight will be partly cloudy and breezy with lows in the 50’s, and there may be an isolated strong thunderstorm as a front approaches from the west and stalls to our west, but most areas will not see one.

Saturday will again be breezy, but sunshine and a southerly breeze will bring in air that originated from over the desert southwest, so highs will soar well into the 80’s, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a few areas touched or exceeded 90. The stalled front will begin to push eastward slowly across Greater Nebraska during the afternoon, and this could set off a few strong to severe storms, but again most areas won’t see any activity so outdoor plans shouldn’t be greatly affected.

The front will have pushed through the viewing area by Sunday, so highs will be a bit cooler, topping out in the upper 70’s to lower 80’s, but with some sunshine it will still be very pleasant and still breezy. The front to our south will begin to push back northward later in the day, so a few thunderstorms may form but will be relatively isolated.

This front will remain in the vicinity through midweek, providing the risk of a few storms each day, but temperatures will remain above average with highs near 80.
