Below freezing temperatures were the rule across Greater Nebraska this morning, so the growing season has essentially now ended. But the afternoon was quite pleasant with sunshine and highs in the 60’s.
The high-pressure ridge that produced the cold temperatures this morning and the pleasant weather this afternoon is currently centered from Kansas into Wyoming. This eastern portion of the ridge will sink southward over the next couple of days, keeping generally clear weather and a westerly to southerly flow of milder air into the region. Although nights will be chilly with lows in the 30’s the next several days, highs Thursday and Friday will warm to near or just over the 80 degree mark with sunshine.
By the weekend, a cold front will cross the region then stall just to the south. This front will not produce any precipitation due to lack of moisture, but it will cool temperatures down and highs both weekend days under mostly sunny skies will top out in the upper 60’s to middle 70’s. Still a pleasant weekend is shaping up.
The next threat of any showers will come on Monday as another front approaches.
Even cooler air behind this front will hold highs in the 50 to low 60’s for the early and middle part of next week.
