October 2010’s overall pleasant streak of weather continued today with sunshine sending highs into the upper 60’s to lower 70’s across Greater Nebraska, and don’t expect much change in this beautiful weather pattern until Friday.
A dry northwesterly flow aloft will continue to produce spectacular weather for late October with highs ranging from 5 to 10 and perhaps more degrees above the average middle 60’s for this time of year.
Nights will be mainly clear and chilly, with lows tonight near 30 and Wednesday night near freezing.
But days will be very pleasant with sunshine both Wednesday and Thursday, with highs into the 70’s just about everywhere in the region tomorrow, and in the upper 60’s to lower 70’s Thursday.
An upper-level low that is cut-off from the main jet-stream flow is currently spinning off the southern California Coast. This feature is producing showers and thunderstorms over southern California, with some activity extending into southern Nevada and eastward into New Mexico. This low will gradually begin to move east-northeastward, and by Friday will be close enough to Greater Nebraska to raise the risk of showers and thunderstorms. The threat will then continue into Saturday as the upper-low moves right over the region. Expect mostly cloudy skies both Friday and Saturday, with highs staying mainly in the 60’s.
Near average temperatures will be with us Sunday and Monday, but a cold front is expected to cross the area on Monday, perhaps sparking a few showers. Behind the front, temperatures will cool perhaps to below average Tuesday, and some of the longer range information is trying to bring in a quite chilly airmass for the middle of next week. While I am not yet sold on that idea just yet, it appears that our streak of average to above average temperatures will end next week, at least temporarily, so enjoy this beautiful fall weather while it lasts.
