Today was still brisk and cool, but at least we didn’t have to contend with the snow and very high winds of yesterday.
Tonight will be mostly clear and quite cold with lows in the single digits and low teens, but a near calm wind will not make it feel too brutal.
Then Wednesday begins a fair and more seasonable weather pattern with partly to mostly sunny skies through Friday, with highs near or just over 40 Wednesday and Thursday, and almost mild Friday with highs near 50. Lows at night will fall into the upper teens to lower 20’s.
But arctic air will begin to drain south Friday night into the weekend and beyond as a cold front slides through Greater Nebraska. Highs over the weekend and Monday will probably stay in the 30’s, with 20’s possible for Monday. As a disturbance approaches later this weekend, it may set off some snow showers Sunday into Monday, especially across northern parts of the viewing area, but right now nothing significant is expected. Fair and chilly weather should then return for Tuesday.

Fair Through Monday But Then The Fun Begins
A cold front moved through Greater Nebraska overnight, and northerly winds behind it helped hold highs in the 30’s and 40’s with lots of clouds.
Skies tonight will be mainly cloudy with lows near 20 with light easterly winds.
Saturday will be even cooler than today, especially over southern areas where highs should not get much above the middle 30’s, along with lots of clouds.
There could be some freezing drizzle in a few spots during overnight Saturday into Sunday morning, so watch for the potential for slick spots to develop.
But as impulses of low pressure move eastward along this front, it should waver back north of at least the southern part of the viewing area from Sunday into Monday, but the exact position of this front will dictate temperature forecasts through Monday. There may be a wide variation in highs where places like Imperial may reach near 50, while places like Valentine only reach into the 30’s. Skies both days will be mostly sunny.
Then Tuesday is when the fun begins. An arctic front with bitterly cold air behind it will begin to filter into the area as the front moves southward through Greater Nebraska. This air will be very cold to our north with parts of Montana staying below zero for highs early next week, and lows dropping as low as the minus twenties. As the front pushes through during Tuesday, highs may be reached early but then fall during the afternoon as the cold air pushes in. In addition, there will probably be at least some snow with and behind the front Later Tuesday into Wednesday. However, there are indications that a storm could develop over Colorado Tuesday and begin to intensify and move to our south over Kansas Tuesday night and Wednesday. If this occurs, an accumulating snow, with windy conditions, falling temperatures and blowing and drifting could create dangerous travel during the big travel time for the Thanksgiving holiday. So please stay tuned to KNOP-TV for the latest weather forecasts through the weekend into early next week.
Regardless of the snow, temperatures on Wednesday are likely to stay in the teens and perhaps low 20’s for highs, with lows in the single digits to perhaps below zero in some places.
Thanksgiving morning may be the coldest morning with lows near or below zero in most places, but highs should recover a bit into the 20’s to perhaps lower 30’s with sunshine.
Then Black Friday shoppers can look forward to sunny and milder conditions with highs approaching 40.
Since I will be travelling next week, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy, safe, and blessed Thanksgiving. Enjoy!!!!!

Cooler But Seasonable Until Monday, But Then........
A southerly breeze and sunshine helped boost highs today into the 50’s, and even the lower 60’s around Imperial. However, winds gusting up and over 25mph at times made it feel cooler.
A cold front will move through Greater Nebraska overnight, but it will come through dry and the only effect will be to shift the winds from southerly to a more northerly direction. Skies will be partly cloudy and lows will bottom our in the 20’s.
These northerly winds will allow some cooler air to our north to arrive for Friday, so highs will generally be in the 40’s with mostly sunny skies and a light breeze.
Cooler air will continue to filter in Friday night into Saturday with lows in the teens and highs in the 30’s.
But a warm front will move through the area by Sunday, and a milder southerly wind flow will raise highs into the 40’s, and perhaps near or over 50 in a few places.
However, during the weekend some bitterly cold arctic air will be situated over Montana and North Dakota with highs only reaching the single digits and teens, and lows at or below zero, especially over northern parts of these states. This very cold air is expected to stay in that general area through the weekend as areas of low pressure moving eastward across the Northern Rockies help keep that air bottled up to our north. But by Monday, a reinforcing shot of even colder air will move out of Western Canada into the Northern Rockies and Plains during Sunday, with highs staying below zero and lows perhaps falling to -20 over Montana Sunday night.
The arctic front associated with this bitterly cold air will move through Greater Nebraska during the day on Monday. Highs on Monday should still get into the 30’s and 40’s. But by Tuesday and Wednesday, highs should only be able to reach the single digits to the 20’s and 30’s from north to south, with lows ranging from below zero to perhaps in the single digits from north to south across the region, with Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day looking like the coldest period right not.
In addition, this cold air could be accompanied by some snow, which could cause some travel difficulties just in time for the Holiday, so please stay abreast of later forecast since there are some uncertainties regarding when and how much cold air will arrive in Greater Nebraska.

A Milder Thursday Before A Cooldown Into The Weekend And Beyond
Last night’s rain changed to a bit of snow, especially in areas west of North Platte and a few areas had some whitening of grassy areas. Otherwise, no major problems were reported. Now we can look forward to some milder weather Thursday before we cool down again by the weekend.
A ridge of high pressure extending from central Canada southward into the Southern Plains will control our weather through Thursday. However, as a potent area of low pressure just to the north of Washington State drop east-southward and into northwestern North Dakota by Thursday evening, it will act in concert with the high-pressure ridge, and a trough to the lee of the Rockies to produce a gusty southerly flow of milder air into Greater Nebraska. After a partly cloudy and cold night tonight with lows near 20, Thursday will be mostly sunny with highs in the 50’s. A southerly breeze will gust up and over 25mph at times.
The low over North Dakota will continue to move eastward, reaching extreme northern Minnesota Friday morning. This low will drag a cold front through the region overnight Thursday night into Friday morning, and as high pressure over southern Canada exerts more influence, temperatures will begin to cool down with highs remaining in the 40’s with sunny skies.
Temperatures will continue to cool during the weekend with highs falling to the upper 30’s to lower 40’s, with perhaps colder highs over northern parts of the viewing area.
Early next week, some very cold air will be situated over the Northern Rockies and Plains with highs in the single digits and teens, and lows near or below zero. As the arctic boundary begins to shift southward across the region in the Monday/Tuesday timeframe, we can expect temperatures to tumble, with highs by Wednesday staying in the teens and 20’s and lows from near zero to the lower teens. Some snow is also possible as waves of low pressure ride along the boundary.
It appears Thanksgiving day will be quite cold also, but we will update the forecast as we get closer to the holiday.

Some Wintry Weather Overnight, Then Changeable Through the Weekend
An Alberta Clipper will bring a round of wintry weather to Greater Nebraska overnight into Wednesday morning, along with windy conditions.
As of 4pm CST, the Clipper was located over northeastern Wyoming and is dropping quickly southeastward, and will be over northeastern Colorado later this evening, then move east-southeastward across Kansas Thursday before reaching southern Missouri Thursday evening. Yesterday, I thought that this system would pass right over Greater Nebraska, which would cause the heaviest precipitation on the order of a quarter inch or so to fall over our northern zones such as Valentine. However, the track has shifted southward so the heaviest precipitation will likely fall across our central and southern zones. However, all areas will see some rain and snow, with the possibility of some accumulation just about anywhere, especially on grassy surfaces.
Rain that is falling across Greater Nebraska now will continue into the overnight, but as colder air moves in later a changeover to snow will occur, first over areas in the Panhandle around or just before midnight, then progressing eastward after midnight. As temperatures fall into the 20’s, the snow will begin to accumulate some especially on grassy areas, and some roads, and especially bridges and overpasses could become slick by morning. Accumulations should range from very little over our extreme northern areas, to perhaps an inch or two over the remainder of the region, with maybe a localized higher amount in Garden and Deuel Counties. Again, most of this will be on grassy surfaces, but watch for some slick roads late. It will also become quite windy overnight with northerly winds gusting up and over 30mph, so there could be some blowing snow especially across the Sandhills.
There could be some lingering snow showers tomorrow morning along with some slick spots, but skies should turn partly sunny by afternoon with highs approaching 40. Winds will continue quite gusty but begin to diminish later in the afternoon.
Then Thursday will turn breezy again but milder conditions will return with highs well into the 50’s with plenty of sun.
A cold front will then move through the region probably dry Thursday night, and Friday and the weekend will be fair with cooler highs in the 40’s.
But some very cold arctic air will be situated over the Northern Rockies and Plains, and exactly where the arctic boundary sets up will have a major impact on our weather, especially Sunday and Monday. If the boundary shifts south across the region, highs in the 20’s and lows in the single digits to near zero would be the rule, with perhaps some snow. However, right now it looks like this boundary will stay just to our north, but this could change so stay tuned. Regardless, it appear that the boundary will most likely move south of Greater Nebraska by Tuesday, bringing much colder temperatures and perhaps some snow just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Rain Showers This Evening, And A Touch Of Winter Tuesday Night Into Wednesday
A weak low over southwestern Minnesota is pushing a trough through the region this afternoon, and this trough is producing just enough lift to cause some scattered showers to develop. These showers should begin to diminish after sunset, and should end a bit later tonight. Skies will remain mostly cloudy overnight as lows drop into the 20’s.
During Tuesday, and Alberta Clipper will moves southeastward through Montana into Wyoming, and eventually into northwestern Nebraska tomorrow night. This system could produce a few showers during the afternoon, especially across northern parts of the viewing area. Highs will reach the 50’s under partly sunny skies.
During Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, the Clipper will move into southeastern Nebraska, and as colder air moves into the region on gusty northwest winds any rain showers will change to snow showers. Most areas will not see any accumulation, but some northern areas like Valentine could pick up an inch or two. Winds gusting up and over 30mph, and possibly even 40mph in a few places cloud cause some blowing snow over any areas where snow accumulates as lows drop into the 20’s.
Any snow should end Wednesday morning, but gusty northwest winds will continue to send colder air into the region and highs will stay in the 30’s over much of Greater Nebraska during the afternoon, with perhaps some low 40’s over southern areas like Imperial.
But temperatures should quickly become milder Thursday and Friday ahead of an arctic cold front dropping southward through the northern Rockies and Plains. Highs will reach the 50’s once again under sunny skies.
The weather for the weekend into early next week is somewhat uncertain since it is not yet known how far south the arctic front will get, and when it will move through the area. It is possible that the front could move through Greater Nebraska as early as the weekend, or as late as Monday. This front will have a major effect on the temperature forecast since highs to our north will be quite cold with highs in the single digits and teens and lows near or even below zero, so some very cold air will be lurking just to our north. Right now, I am forecast highs this weekend into Monday in the 40’s, but these highs could be lowered during the week if it becomes apparent that the arctic front will press through the area soon. The front could also be accompanied by some snow, so stay tuned to later forecasts which will become better refined as we get closer to the weekend.
Regardless, a shot of cold air does look to move through the region next week, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Your Weekend, And A Look Ahead To Next Week And Beyond
The weather system that affected us yesterday and last night would not release its grip, and today ended up being cloudy, with even a few snow and rain showers being reported, so a damp, cool day for sure. But the system is beginning to move eastward and clouds are now beginning to break over Greater Nebraska as high pressure takes hold.
So expect some clearing tonight, but along with the clearing some patchy fog may form so use caution later tonight. Lows will drop into the 20’s.
After some morning fog, Saturday should turn partly sunny and a bit breezy with highs in the 40’s. Sunday’s weather should be similar but perhaps a bit less breezy.
Overnight Saturday night should be mainly clear with lows in the teens.
Early next week, a series of fronts and disturbances will move through the region, perhaps producing a few rain and snow showers Monday through Wednesday. Highs should be in the 40’s and 50’s, perhaps dropping into the 30’s for Wednesday as a shot of colder air moves in.
Then fair skies with highs around 50 are expected later next week.
There are signs that some very frigid air building over the northern territories of Canada, and over Siberia, will begin to expand and move into Alaska and southward into western Canada. While it is not know exactly how this cold air will affect Greater Nebraska during Thanksgiving Week, it appears at least some of it will drop into the area to turn us colder, and if more of it is aimed for the Central Plains it could turn very cold here right around Thanksgiving. Stay tuned to KNOP News 2 and we will keep you posted.
Enjoy the weekend!

Rain And A Bit Of Snow Tonight - Watch For Icy Spots
Today was a cloudy and cool day with some intermittent light snow and rain over many areas, which began to evolve into a rainy afternoon as highs climbed into the upper 30’s to middle 40’s. However, western portions of the Nebraska Panhandle received a substantial snowfall in a few areas, with Kimball reporting 8 ½ inches around mid-afternoon.
The rain will continue through the evening, but begin to mix with and probably change to a bit of snow before ending from west to east during the overnight as lows drop into the 20’s. No significant accumulations are expected and roads should be mostly wet, though some icy spots could develop especially on exposed surfaces such as bridges and overpasses. Also, grassy areas could whiten, and it is not out of the question that a few areas pick up about an inch of snow.
By tomorrow morning, the precipitation will be gone, but some icy spots may remain until temperatures warm above the freezing mark. Friday overall will be partly sunny with highs in the 40’s with a light wind.
The weekend is looking fair and seasonable with highs mainly in the 40’s with partly to mostly sunny skies.
The fair weather will continue into the beginning of next week.

A Wintry Veterans Day Shaping Up
Our first true taste of Old Man Winter will greet us for Veterans Day Thursday.
Today began with a few rain and snow showers over parts of Greater Nebraska early this morning, but then skies cleared and highs stayed in the seasonable upper 40’s to lower 50’s.
An area of low pressure over New Mexico is waiting for some upper-level energy rounding the corner from the Pacific Northwest now to the Desert Southwest tomorrow. This energy will help strengthen the low, and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will stream into the Southern and Central Plains. At the same time, colder air is filtering into Greater Nebraska from the north. All this is setting the stage for a round of wintry weather beginning very late tonight and not ending until sunrise Friday.
So expect increasing clouds tonight, with the risk of light snow developing west, especially the Panhandle, with lows in the 20’s.
As the low strengthens a bit and moves slowly into Kansas during the day Thursday, light snow, or a mix of snow and rain will develop across most of the region during tomorrow morning. During the afternoon, areas over the Panhandle into the northwestern Sandhills can expect mostly snow, while most other areas can expect a mix or even a change to rain as highs reach from the mid 30’s north and west to the low 40’s south and east. Areas that remain mostly snow could see some light accumulations, especially on grassy surfaces.
However, after sunset tomorrow all areas should change over to mostly snow as temperatures drop toward and below the freezing mark, and this snow should continue through at least the first half of the night as lows continue to fall into the 20’s. It is at this time that most areas could see a bit of accumulation, but more importantly, some slick travel could develop, especially on bridges and overpasses, so tune in later tonight and especially tomorrow for updates. Accumulations by the time the snow ends around sunrise Friday may be two or three inches across the Panhandle and northern Sandhills, to maybe an inch over areas like North Platte and Broken Bow.
However, the storm has shown some signs of slowing down a bit, and if more slowing occurs more snow could fall, so again stay tuned for later updates.
Regardless, Friday afternoon into the weekend should be fair with seasonable highs in the 40’s.

Our Change To Some True Fall Weather Has Begun
Our change to weather more typical of the middle of fall has begun as a cold front has pushed through Greater Nebraska, and temperatures have already begun to drop from their highs this afternoon in the 50’s and 60’s.
A wave of low pressure on the front over southeastern Colorado will move northeastward overnight, reaching southeastern Nebraska tomorrow morning. This low will bring some moisture to the area in the form of rain showers early tonight, but as temperatures fall any rain should mix with and even change over to snow showers as lows fall through the 30’s. No significant accumulation or travel problems are anticipated since precipitation should be light, and warm ground temperatures should melt most of any snow, but some bridges and overpasses could slicken up overnight so be careful.
Any snow showers or mix tomorrow morning should change to either rain showers over southern areas, or a mix north with highs in the 40’s. During the afternoon, we may see some sunshine especially over southwestern areas as the area of low pressure moves into the Dakotas.
Then our attention will turn to a new storm that will develop over Colorado and New Mexico tomorrow night into Thursday, then move eastward through Kansas during Thursday and into Missouri Thursday night. This storm will have a bit more moisture to work with so we can expect snow or a mix to redevelop early Thursday morning across western areas, then spread eastward into all areas Thursday morning. As temperatures rise to the middle 30’s to near 40, a mix or even rain is expected, but even areas that see any snow should not see significant accumulations since ground temperatures will still be relatively warm during the day.
However, if the precipitation continues Thursday evening and night, temperatures falling well down into the 20’s would allow any snow to perhaps cause some light accumulations, and even roads could become slick, especially over the Panhandle and Sandhills. There are still questions about how strong this storm will be and how fast it will move, so stay tuned to later forecasts that will fine tune any details.
Regardless, precipitation will end by Friday, and we can expect fair and seasonable weather Friday through the weekend with highs mainly in the 40’s.

A wave of low pressure on the front over southeastern Colorado will move northeastward overnight, reaching southeastern Nebraska tomorrow morning. This low will bring some moisture to the area in the form of rain showers early tonight, but as temperatures fall any rain should mix with and even change over to snow showers as lows fall through the 30’s. No significant accumulation or travel problems are anticipated since precipitation should be light, and warm ground temperatures should melt most of any snow, but some bridges and overpasses could slicken up overnight so be careful.
Any snow showers or mix tomorrow morning should change to either rain showers over southern areas, or a mix north with highs in the 40’s. During the afternoon, we may see some sunshine especially over southwestern areas as the area of low pressure moves into the Dakotas.
Then our attention will turn to a new storm that will develop over Colorado and New Mexico tomorrow night into Thursday, then move eastward through Kansas during Thursday and into Missouri Thursday night. This storm will have a bit more moisture to work with so we can expect snow or a mix to redevelop early Thursday morning across western areas, then spread eastward into all areas Thursday morning. As temperatures rise to the middle 30’s to near 40, a mix or even rain is expected, but even areas that see any snow should not see significant accumulations since ground temperatures will still be relatively warm during the day.

Major Changes To More Typical Fall Weather On The Way
I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the outstanding weather since Saturday, with highs in the 70’s and even 80’s in a few spots, because big changes are on the way which likely means we will not see weather like we’ve just experienced until next Spring.
Tonight will be partly cloudy with lows in the 30’s.
Then as a cold front extending from western North Dakota southward to central Arizona moves eastward, it will gradually pass through Greater Nebraska during the day tomorrow. Since the front is moving slower than originally anticipated, it appears we will enjoy one more relatively mild day tomorrow, but not as mild as recent days mainly due to expected cloud-cover. Expect partly sunny skies and highs in the 60’s to perhaps lower 70’s with light winds.
By tomorrow evening, the front should be through the region, and as weak waves of low pressure move north along the front to our east, the may be just enough moisture to produce some light rain showers initially early tomorrow night. However, as the night progresses it should get cold enough in most areas for some snow to at least mix in with any showers, and it’s possible that a complete changeover to snow showers is possible. Accumulations should not be great even if this happens due to warm ground temperatures, but some grassy areas could see some whitening.
As that disturbance moves to the northeast, Wednesday could dawn with some lingering showers of rain and snow, but then skies should begin to clear with highs only in the 40’s.
Thursday into Friday is where things get interesting. Energy over the Pacific will move onshore late in the day tomorrow in the Pacific Northwest, then dig into the southwestern US during Wednesday. This energy should spawn low pressure near southeastern Colorado by late Wednesday, and this low should then pass to our south and east Thursday into Friday. As this occurs, colder air will be filtering in from the north. Highs Thursday will be in the 40’s but may drop later in the day. Depending on the exact track and intensity of the low, rain or a mixture of rain and snow could develop during Thursday, then change over to mainly snow Thursday night into Friday morning. There is a chance for some accumulation by Friday morning is this scenario materializes, but it is too early to tell at this time how much if anything will fall. As the Pacific energy moves onshore, I should have a better handle on what will occur tomorrow and especially Wednesday, but stay tuned since this could be our first bout of winter weather this season.
For Friday and weekend, fair skies are expected with seasonable highs in the 40’s.

Outstanding Fall Weather Through Monday, Then Major Changes Next Week
We have enjoyed a mild fall thus far with temperatures well above average across Greater Nebraska, and this weekend into Monday will be incredibly mild to even warm with sunshine and highs in the 70’s, and possibly approaching 80 in spots. Please get out and enjoy because major changes in the weather pattern are on the way during next week.
A ridge of high pressure extending from the Great Lakes southward to Texas is in control of our weather, and will remain in control through Monday. This high will ensure lots of sunshine, light southerly winds, and highs in the mild 70’s through Monday, and perhaps well into the 70’s to near 80 in a couple of spots Saturday and Sunday. It is not out of the question that a couple of record highs could be challenged, especially at Valentine where the record for Saturday is 78, and the expected high is in the mid to upper 70’s.
Nights will be clear and cold with lows in the 20’s tonight, and near 30 Saturday and Sunday night.
By Monday, great weather will continue with sunshine and highs still in the 70’s. But that is where the beautiful weather will end.
A cold front approaching from the north and west will move through the region Monday night and Tuesday, with more in the way of clouds and the risk of a few showers. Highs Tuesday will be much cooler in the 50’s.
Then colder air will filter in Tuesday night into Wednesday, and any rain showers could change to snow showers before ending Wednesday morning. Highs Wednesday will be mainly in the 40’s.
The wild card will be the possibility that a storm could develop over the Texas Panhandle Wednesday night, and begin to move northeastward, reaching Iowa Friday morning. If this occurs, with colder air continuing to press in there could be some rain changing to snow during the day Thursday into Thursday night, then ending Friday morning.
This scenario is just a possibility right now, but one thing for certain is that temperatures will fall into the 30’s and 40’s for highs by late week, and it appears that this change to colder weather will last for a while, with no return to mild conditions expected.
So enjoy the weather this weekend into Monday since we may not see weather this nice until next Spring.

Quite Cold Tonight, But Quite Mild This Weekend
Although sunny skies and seasonable temperatures in the 50’s dominated Greater Nebraska today, it felt chilly due to a northerly breeze, and the fact that we have been spoiled by a generally mild fall thus far. And we have a very mild to almost warm weekend coming up before what looks like major changes in the weather pattern bring in some true fall-like weather next week.
High pressure over North Dakota will slide southward tonight and be located just about right over Greater Nebraska overnight, before sliding south and eastward into the Ohio/Tennessee Valley Saturday evening. With the high right over us tonight, clear skies, dry air, and near calm winds will allow lows to fall to their coldest levels of the season so far with lows well into the teens by sunrise Friday.
But a southerly flow developing around the high as it moves to our east Friday will allow highs during the afternoon to recover to near 60, so a bit milder than today.
Friday night will be clear and still chilly with lows in the 20’s.
Then the weekend will be spectacular for the first weekend of November with sunshine and light southerly winds boosting highs into the 70’s both days, and it’s not out of the question that some highs could approach the 80 degree mark, which would be approaching record highs which are in the upper 70’s to low 80’s. So make plans to be outside for what will likely be the mildest weather until next Spring.
Monday will still be beautiful with sunshine and highs again in the 70’s.
But then a cold front dropping southeastward from the Pacific Northwest will bring the chance of showers as it moves through the area Tuesday, along with much cooler highs in the 50’s.
By the middle of next week, the forecast is a bit complicated since there could be waves of low pressure that develops on the front that will be moving slowly to our east at that time, and this could cause additional rain showers, and perhaps even mixed rain and snow as highs stay mainly in the 40’s. This much cooler weather looks like it may stick around for a while when it gets here, but after all it is the middle of fall.
So get ready for some big weather changes from this weekend into next week.

Cooler Now, But Unseasonably Mild For The Weekend
A cold front brought an end to our mild weather today, but the change will be brief as it will turn unseasonably mild for the time of the year once again by the weekend.
Gusty northwest winds around strong high pressure over eastern Montana have brought cooler air into Greater Nebraska, and highs today were about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday, topping out in the upper 50’s to lower 60’s.
However, as winds slacken tonight, lows will fall quickly under clear skies to quite cold levels in the upper teens to lower 20’s, so likely the coldest night we’ve seen thus far this season.
Thursday will be sunny, and highs will generally be in the 50’s with a light afternoon breeze, so not a bad day but a jacket will be needed.
Thursday night may actually be colder than tonight as the high will be practically over the region, and under clear skies and near calm winds lows will fall into the teens in just about all areas.
Friday will be fair, and highs will recover into the lower 60’s.
By Saturday, the high will be to our east and south, and a southerly flow of much milder air will take over once again. Under sunny skies, highs will approach and exceed the 70 degree mark in many areas. Sunday will be similar weather-wise, so just a beautiful mid-fall weekend shaping up, and likely the nicest that we’ll see until next Spring.
The nice weather should continue into Monday, but another cold front will move through Monday night and Tuesday, possibly producing a few showers. Temperatures will cool significantly again by midweek with highs in the 40’s and 50’s.

Cooler Through Friday, But Milder Again For The Weekend
Election Day 2010 was outstanding weather-wise with blue sunny skies and highs in the upper 60’s and lower 70’s, or about 10 to 15 degrees above seasonal averages. The mild weather will end overnight to be replaced by cooler temperatures the next few days, but will return in earnest over the weekend.
Highs pressure situated over the Intermountain Region provided today’s spectacular fall weather, but a cold front now entering Montana and North Dakota from Canada will quickly press southward through Greater Nebraska overnight, and be through the region by tomorrow morning. The front will produce some cloudiness, but should come through the region dry. Winds will switch to a northwesterly direction behind the front but remain light overnight. Lows will drop into the lower to middle 30’s.
Then potent high pressure dropping southeastward out of southwest Canada will take control of our weather tomorrow, and while skies will be sunny, a gusty northwesterly breeze up and over 30mph during the afternoon will usher in cooler Canadian air and highs should only reach the upper 50’s to lower 60’s.
As the high continues to press eastward, Wednesday night will be clear and quite cold with lows in the teens to lower 20’s with light winds.
Then Thursday will be sunny but cool with highs only reaching the lower to middle 50’s. However, these highs are about average for the time of year, but it will feel cooler since we’ve become so accustomed to milder temperatures this fall.
Thursday night will be another cold night with lows in the teens to lower 20’s.
Then Friday will be fair with highs in the upper 50’s to lower 60’s.
By the time we get to the weekend, the high will reside to our east, and a southerly flow of milder air will return. Sunshine and the southerly flow will boost highs into the lower 70’s over many areas Saturday and Sunday, and with light winds it will be delightful to be outdoors.
The mild weather will continue into Monday, but another cold front will approach Monday night and Tuesday, presenting the chance of showers and much cooler temperatures once again. In fact, it may turn quite cool mid to late next week if some of the latest information is correct as some colder Canadian air could be tapped and moved southward into the Plains. Well it is November, so if that occurs, it would be about time that colder air finally made inroads into Greater Nebraska. Stay tuned to later forecasts for this possibility.

An Outstanding Election Day Weather-Wise Expected
Today was relatively pleasant with partly to mostly sunny skies during the afternoon and highs in the upper 50’s to lower 60’s, and the weather for Election Day tomorrow will be nothing short of outstanding.
Tonight will be mostly clear and chilly by morning with lows in the upper 20’s to low 30’s with near calm winds.
High pressure over the Great Lakes, in concert with another high over southwestern Wyoming will control our weather through the day Tuesday, and light westerly winds will bring mild highs of near 70 to most areas with plenty of sun, so there will be no weather problems going to the polls.
But a dry cold front will move through Tuesday night, and a wind shift to the north will occur under mostly clear skies. Lows will drop to near 30.
By Wednesday, high pressure dropping out of southwestern Canada will cause breezy conditions, and highs will stay near 60. This same high will control the weather through the end of the week, bringing cooler highs in the 50’s but still with plenty of sun.
But by Saturday, this high will shift to the south and east of Greater Nebraska, and southerly winds will once again bring milder temperatures with highs approaching 70 again with sunshine, so a beautiful fall weekend looks to be in storm.
Looking ahead, there are still no signs of any really cold air and certainly no snow, but now that we are into November, we can expect to see some temperatures that are more winterlike by the end of the month. In addition, this is the month we typically see our first snow, and if and when that materializes we will certainly keep you posted.
