We are still basically in the same type of weather pattern we have been in so much of the summer season, but that may perhaps change as we get into the latter part of the workweek.
A wave of low pressure on the border of northwestern Nebraska and southwestern South Dakota is moving eastward and dragging a warm front across Greater Nebraska this evening. The wave is helping to enhance thunderstorm activity across South Dakota southward into the Nebraska Panhandle, and a line of strong to severe storms exists. There is a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect until 9PM CT for Cherry County, and as this line moves through damaging winds could occur once again in the County, along with hail and heavy rainfall.
Elsewhere, a stationary front exists just to our south, and this front will likely become active with thunderstorms a bit later this evening and overnight. This activity should then drift into southwestern and southern Nebraska, and could produce some heavy rainfall. The low to the north will then drag a cool front across the region during the overnight, which will then settle to our south through Thursday. Lows tonight will settle into the 60’s and it will remain humid.
We can expect partly sunny skies Wednesday and Thursday with just a slight risk of a thunderstorm as highs reach the middle to upper 80’s both days.
By later in the week, and upper-level ridge of high pressure should strengthen and bring drier and hotter weather from Friday into at least early next week when highs reach the lower to middle 90’s, and perhaps upper 90’s in some places. So get ready for what looks to be an extended round of heat.
