The strong storm that caused the intense winds Tuesday and Wednesday is not located over Hudson Bay in Canada, and the weather in Greater Nebraska is being governed by a ridge of high pressure extending from South Dakota into Texas. This ridge should govern our weather into the day Saturday before a cool front brings some cooler air into the region for Halloween Sunday.
For tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow lows to drop well into the 20’s, so expect a cold night especially toward morning.
Friday will start chilly, but the ridge will move southeastward during the next couple of days, and a southerly slow around it will allow highs to reach the middle 60’s north to lower 70’s south Friday with lots of sunshine and light winds, so a beautiful fall day is expected.
During Saturday, a weak cool front will cross the region, but no precipitation is expected. However, highs may be off a few degrees from Friday’s highs, especially across northern areas where highs may not get much above the lower 60’s. But southern areas should get close to 70 once again, so still a pleasant day for the end of October.
Halloween Sunday will be cooler everywhere with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs from the upper 50’s to lower 60’s. There could be a couple of showers Saturday night into Sunday morning as an area of low pressure develops to our southeast, and an upper-level system crosses the area. But Halloween evening should be fair with temperatures during trick or treat time in the 40’s with fair skies.
Still no very cold weather is foreseen for the next week.
Mike
