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.
