This morning’s frosty temperatures will not be repeated anytime soon. The low of 34 in North Platte early this morning broke the old record of 35 set way back in 1898. By afternoon, sunshine and a southerly wind helped boost temperatures well into the 70’s to around 80 in most areas.
After clear skies early, some clouds will roll in later tonight, and morning lows will only dip to around 50.
Wednesday will be mostly cloudy, and moisture will increases on southerly winds, partly due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine which will be passing by to our south and east over the next couple of days. Some isolated thunderstorms are a possibility at just about anytime with highs around 80. It will also be breezy with winds gusting to 30mph.
Wednesday night and Thursday will be mainly cloudy, and as moisture continues to increase, some fog is possible late at night and into Thursday morning. There is just the slight chance of a shower or storm with lows only dropping to near 60, and highs Thursday around 80.
As low pressure passes to our north over the Dakotas Thursday night and Friday, it will drag a front through Greater Nebraska. This front will likely set off showers and thunderstorms, with the best chances to the west and north as those areas will be closer to the northern disturbance. Lows will be near 60 and highs will be near 80 once again.
By the weekend, high pressure will build in from the west, and we can expect sunny and pleasant conditions both weekend days with highs in the lower to middle 80’s.
