More sunshine than expected pushed temperatures a few degrees higher today than I anticipated yesterday, but the next several days will be colder as arctic air filters in.
A weak boundary lies to our north and east from Montana into northeastern Nebraska, and this boundary should shift south and westward tonight into Friday, allowing colder air to come in from the north. Tonight will be mostly clear, and lows will fall into the teens with a light wind.
Then Friday will be mainly sunny, but highs will rise only into the 20’s across the Sandhills to the 30’s over southern portions. However, since winds will be light it should not be too bad to be outside.
Saturday will be fair with partly sunny skies and highs should be similar to Friday, in the 20’s and 30’s. There could be a few flurries overnight Saturday as a disturbance approaches.
But a system developing to our west looks like it will push either right over us or just to our south Sunday into Monday, and we could see some light wintry precipitation, especially over the Sandhills during this time period. Overall, it should not be significant, but if any freezing rain occurs that could be a problem since it takes very little to cause slick conditions, so this weather scenario will be monitored over the next few days so please stay tuned to News 2 for the latest forecast.
Then it appears another milder spell will begin for the middle of next week with highs approaching or exceeding 40. Right now, chances are still looking very low for a white Christmas in Greater Nebraska, but with the holiday still more than a week away things could still change. Statistically, about 1 in every 4 years has at least one inch of snow on the ground Christmas Day, and last year was one of those years, so chances are we will not see a white Christmas this year, but again, I will let you know if things change.
