Clouds and sun battled for control today, with only a few light showers being reported and mainly over eastern areas this morning. A front is basically stalled over the area, with western and southern areas to its south and eastern and northern areas to its north. Highs reached well into the 80’s in most areas to the south and west of the front, but Broken Bow and Valentine remained to the east and north of the front, and highs remained in the 70’s due to more cloud cover. It was a bit more humid as well.
Showers and thunderstorms developed over Colorado earlier this afternoon and are now moving through southwestern parts of Greater Nebraska, and showers and storms can be expected at least through midnight as a disturbance passes through. Then, some fog may develop later tonight as lows drop into the mild 60’s. It will remain breezy with southerly winds gusting to 30mph, but the winds will slacken a bit later tonight.
Thursday will dawn with perhaps some patchy morning fog, then some sun will try to break through the clouds, and there could be an isolated afternoon storm as highs approach 80. It will be breezy again with southeasterly winds gusting to 30mph.
Thursday night, a strong disturbance will pass to the north over the Dakotas, and a cool front will approach from the west. As a result, more showers and storms can be expected, which should be more concentrated over northern areas which will be closer to the disturbance riding eastward to our north. Lows once again will remain in the mild 60’s, with continued breezy conditions.
By Friday, the cool front will have moved through most of Greater Nebraska, and after any lingering showers and storms during the morning, skies will begin to clear during the afternoon as highs approach 80. It will remain breezy but this time with drier northwesterly winds.
The weekend looks beautiful with sunshine, low humidity, and highs in the 80’s.
