Wednesday's Weather Thoughts

A much needed break from the heavy rainfall of late is on the way!

A cold front that pushed through Greater Nebraska last night and caused the heavy showers and thunderstorms is now located over central Kansas and continues to move southeastward. However, an upper-level trough pushing eastward from Wyoming will keep the risk of a few showers and perhaps a thunderstorm in the forecast through at least midnight, but then the risk should diminish. Skies will remain mostly cloudy overnight with lows in the 50’s.

Then high pressure extending from Wyoming to southwestern Canada will influence our weather beginning tomorrow and lasting through the day on Saturday. Thursday will be mainly cloudy in the morning, but more sunshine should appear as the day wears on and highs will respond by reaching the upper 70’s.

Fair and warmer weather will continue Friday with highs in the 80’s, and highs may approach 90 on Saturday. However, another front could cause a few isolated late day storms. This front will meander around the area through Tuesday, and keep the risk of isolated storms in the forecast. We should break out of this pattern during the middle of next week, and it could turn hot for an extended period if a strong area of high pressure parks itself over the central and southern Plains.
