Scattered thunderstorms have been moving across northern parts of our viewing area, mainly to the north of an Ogallala/North Platte line. Some of these storms have been strong to severe with damaging winds and hail, and heavy rainfall.
Expect scattered storms to continue during the overnight as an upper-level disturbance cruises eastward from Wyoming and Colorado, and weak low pressure over northeast Colorado moves southeast into southwestern Kansas along a stationary front situated from southwestern Wyoming to eastern Colorado then southward. Any storm will be capable or producing heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts and large hail. Skies will be mostly cloudy with lows near 60.
Tuesday, the upper-level disturbance will be moving eastward across Nebraska, and the low will move very slowly eastward across Kansas. The proximity of these features to Greater Nebraska will cause partly cloudy skies, and there is a slight risk of a thunderstorm at just about anytime, with a somewhat greater risk to the east of North Platte. Highs will crest near the 80 degree mark.
By Wednesday, and upper-level high currently centered over Texas will move eastward Tuesday, then begin to expand northeastward Wednesday. As this happens, we can expect temperatures to moderate into the 90’s for Wednesday and Thursday. A front will cross the region Thursday night causing temperatures to drop back into the 80’s for Friday. But hot weather will return for the weekend with sunny skies and highs in the 90’s, so a changeable week is ahead.
