December To Turn Milder - For Now

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.
