Chilly night and mild to warm days are making for some true Indian Summer weather across Greater Nebraska, and Friday will be even warmer before a cooldown for the weekend.
Sunshine and light winds allowed temperatures to quickly rebound from this morning’s chilly lows in the 30’s and 40’s to the 70’s to near 80. Tonight will be another chilly night with clear skies, near calm winds, and lows in the 30’s.
Sunshine and gusty southerly winds ahead of the next cool front will raise highs into the 80’s in most areas Friday, and this may be the last 80 degree day before next Spring. However, the gusty wind along with low humidity and dry fuels will increase the Fire Weather danger during the afternoon, and a Fire Weather Watch is in effect from Deuel and Keith Counties northward to Sheridan and western Cherry Counties, then eastward through northern Cherry and Brown Counties. So outside burning should be curtailed, and care should be taken with anything that could spark a wildfire since any fire will have the capability to spread rapidly.
Friday night into early Saturday, another cool front will pass through the region dry, but breezy northerly winds will bring cooler air into the area. While mostly sunny skies are expected both weekend days, highs will stay mainly in the 60’s Saturday, and approach 70 in a few places Sunday.
The next chance of showers will come Monday with a stronger cold front, the fair conditions will prevail through midweek. Highs will be around 60 early in the week, but will climb toward the 70 degree mark by Thursday.
