Wednesday's Weather Thoughts

A change in our stormy weather pattern is finally taking place, and it will bring drier and hotter weather to Greater Nebraska.

A cold front moved through the region last night ushering in much less humid air, and high pressure building in from the northwest is bringing mostly clear and sunny skies. It will also make tonight a fair, comfortable night with mostly clear skies with lows in the 50’s.

Thursday will be another pleasant day with sunshine and highs in the middle 80’s. But as high pressure moves east of our area, southeasterly winds will begin to transport a bit more humid air into the region once again. Also, a developing warm front to our southwest will move in our direction, and this could set off a stray isolated thunderstorm, especially over western parts of Greater Nebraska late in the day and early tomorrow night.

By Friday, the warm front will have moved through most of the region, and a hot southwesterly wind flow will allow some very hot air to our south to move northward so that highs on Friday reach the middle to upper 90’s, and it is possible that a 100 degree reading or two occurs. This hot weather will occur under sunny skies with moderate levels of humidity.

It will continue hot on Saturday but a cold front may cause a few thunderstorms later in the day. Sunday will be cooler but fair. More hot, dry weather is then expected for the beginning of next week.
