Continued Unsettled Through Friday Morning, Then A Beautiful Weekend

Clouds, fog and mist today didn’t allow highs to get much above the lower 70’s in most areas. And these conditions will continue tonight, with the addition of a few thunderstorms, especially over the Sandhills.

A moist southeasterly wind flow that has tapped moisture from what was Tropical Storm Hermine, now located over northeast Oklahoma and moving eastward, will continue to keep skies mainly overcast with some fog and mist. But a trough currently extending from the extreme Western Panhandle Nebraska southward into eastern Colorado will begin to move eastward tonight, and will increase the risk of showers and thunderstorms. The risk will be highest over the Sandhills but anyone could see a shower or storm, especially before midnight. Lows will be in the lower 60’s with breezy conditions early that will diminish some by morning.

Friday will start with clouds, fog and mist, and perhaps a shower or storm over the Sandhills, but skies will begin to clear by afternoon, and after the passage of a cool front, it will become quite breezy again with northwesterly winds gusting to 30mph. Highs will approach 80 in most areas.

Football weather for tomorrow evening will be good with mainly clear skies, winds beginning to diminish a bit, and temperatures in the middle 70’s which will drop into the 60’s after sunset. There may be some residual wetness on the field, but no new precipitation is expected.

Then both days of the weekend look beautiful with sunny skies and highs around and into the 80’s as high pressure builds in from the west.
