Hope You Like Roller-Coasters!

Today’s weather featured mainly sunny skies, and pleasant breeze and highs in the middle 70’s to middle 80’s. Friday will be similar, but then get ready for a roller-coaster ride temperature-wise over the weekend.

High pressure over the Central Plains will control our weather through most of Friday, but a cool front will cross Greater Nebraska during the day. For tonight, expect mainly clear skies and comfortable conditions with lows in the 50’s. Friday will be mostly sunny, and it will become breezy during the day with northeasterly winds gusting to 25mph, and highs will approach 80, except stay in the 70 north. There is a slight chance of a late day thunderstorm, but most areas won’t see one.
Then tomorrow night, moist winds from the east will cause clouds to increase, and a few showers are possible along with some drizzle, and perhaps some fog with lows near 50.

But Saturday will be a cloudy and very cool day, with a few showers possible, along with some drizzle, but highs will struggle to reach 60, and will stay mainly in the chilly 50’s. So certainly not a great day weather-wise, and one of the coolest we have seen in a while.

However, the front that will come through tomorrow will move back north as a warm front during Sunday, and a big warm-up will begin. Sunday will be warmer, but the extent of the warmth will be dictated by how fast the warm front moves through. If it moves through quickly highs will reach well into the 80’s. However, right now I am taking a conservative approach and forecasting sunny skies with highs around 80. But tune in tomorrow to News 2 for any updates to Sunday’s forecast.
Monday will be very warm to even hot as highs reach well into the 80’s, and perhaps even the lower 90’s, with sunshine. But another front will approach late in the day, and a thunderstorm could occur.

Then highs will cool again by midweek into the 70’s with some sunshine, but also the risk a some isolated storms.
