Today was a beautiful summer day with sunshine and highs in the 80’s. Unfortunately, while we will have some sunshine during the weekend we will also likely see a few thunderstorms each day.
Tonight will be mostly clear with lows in the 50’s, so another pleasant night. Saturday will begin very nice with sunshine, but as the afternoon progresses southerly winds will begin to increase humidity levels, and sunshine will boost highs toward the 90 degree mark. By late in the afternoon, a trough pressing slowly eastward from the Front Range will begin to ignite thunderstorms over the Nebraska Panhandle, and these storms will push eastward into Greater Nebraska during the very late afternoon and evening. Any storm can contain large hail and damaging winds, and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out, and the Storm Prediction Center has Greater Nebraska in a slight risk of severe storms. Any storms will move eastward during the late evening and overnight as the trough continues to progress east.
On Sunday, a cold front dropping southward over the Northern Plains will approach during the afternoon, and this will likely set off a few thunderstorms late in the day, which could then continue into the evening. Highs Sunday will be near 90 once again.
So most weekend plans should be able to get off to a good start if they are beginning in the morning, but during the afternoon on both days and eye to the sky will be necessary.
Don’t forget to log onto KNOPNEWS2.COM and go to our WeatherActive radar feature to track any storms that develop this weekend.
Enjoy the weekend!
