Bye Bye Beautiful Weather

Today was the last truly beautiful fall day we will see for a while, so I hope you enjoyed this pleasant stretch.

The upper-level low that has been meandering across the Southwestern States is now located over Arizona and moving east-northeastward, and will begin to affect our weather Friday. Expect some increasing clouds tonight across southern parts of our viewing area, while northern areas remain mainly clear. Lows will be near 40 with light winds.

Friday will have a split character between north and south. Northern parts of Greater Nebraska will see sunshine for a while, and this will allow highs to reach the lower 70’s. However, southern portions will see mostly cloudy skies, and the risk of showers and thunderstorms will increase as the day wears on as highs only reach the middle 60’s.

By Friday evening, skies will by mostly cloudy everywhere as the upper low approaches, and scattered showers and storms will possibly cause some delays of local outdoor sports events, so please stay tuned to future forecasts.

Showers and perhaps a storm will continue Saturday as the upper low moves right on top of us. Skies will remain mostly cloudy and highs will stay in the lower 60’s.
Sunday should be fair and a bit milder as the low moves eastward with highs in the middle to upper 60’s. But by Monday, a cool front will approach with the risk of showers once again as highs remain in the 60’s.

But much cooler Canadian air will drop southward during the middle of next week, and highs by Wednesday will stay in the 40’s with breezy condtions.
