What a wild ride we’ve had temperature-wise since Friday! Friday will sunny and pleasant with highs from the 70’s to the middle 80’s. But then a cold front pulled the rug out from under the weather, colder air filtered in from the north overnight Friday into Saturday, and highs did not budge out of the middle 40’s in most areas Saturday with low clouds, fog, mist, some showers, and breezy conditions. Sunday was a bit better but not by much, with clouds and highs in the 50’s to lower 60’s.
However, clear, sunny skies allowed highs today to skyrocket into the middle 90’s to near 100, so a full 40 to over 50 degree difference from Saturday, and a 35 to over 45 degree difference from Sunday! But the heat will be gone by tomorrow.
A cold front approaching from the northwest will move through overnight. This front, and a trough approaching from the Rockies, is causing showers and thunderstorms to develop from the Nebraska Panhandle southwestward into Colorado. These storms will move east and southeastward tonight, and isolated storms can be expected across Greater Nebraska. No widespread severe weather is anticipated, but a couple of storms could become strong with gusty winds and some hail. Lows will be in the 50’s under mostly cloudy skies.
In the wake of the front, Tuesday will be partly sunny and pleasant with highs in the 70’s.
The next chance of thunderstorms, some perhaps severe and with heavy rainfall, will come later Wednesday into Thursday morning as a deep trough approaches from the west. Highs later this week will remain in the 70’s. Friday and the weekend is looking very nice with sunshine and highs in the 70’s to lower 80’s.
