REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT.
A DEEPENING UPPER-LEVEL LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SINK SOUTH FROM
MINNESOTA INTO WISCONSIN. THIS TRACK IS A BIT FURTHER NORTH THAN
PREVIOUSLY FORECAST AND MAY BE INFLUENCING THE RELATIVE LACK OF SNOW
SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON. THAT SAID, A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES
ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHEAST AND WEST-CENTRAL NEBRASKA INTO THIS
EVENING AS A REINFORCING COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SWING THROUGH THE
REGION. ANY SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES DISSIPATE THIS EVENING AND
SKIES WILL QUICKLY CLEAR AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FILTERS INTO THE
AREA. A COLD START TO SUNDAY IS EXPECTED AS A RESULT WITH WIDESPREAD
TEENS BY SUNRISE.
SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
THE COLDER WEATHER DOES NOT LAST LONG AS THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES EAST OF THE REGION HEADING INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WITH MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES AND THE RETURN OF SOUTHERLY WINDS, MOST LOCATIONS CLIMB
INTO THE 40S BY THE AFTERNOON. MORE EASTERN LOCATIONS MAY HANG ONTO
THE 30S FOR ONE MORE DAY, WHILE WESTERN AREAS MAY BREACH 50. BY
MONDAY, MORE ZONAL UPPER-LEVEL WINDS WILL CONTINUE THE WARMING
TREND. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50S ARE ANTICIPATED UNDER
THIS PATTERN. A DEEPENING SYSTEM OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION WILL
BEGIN TO INFLUENCE THE AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM
TIGHTENS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT, INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS
BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT SWINGS THROUGH THE AREA. DESPITE THIS "COLD
FRONT" THE WARM WESTERLY WINDS AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES KEEPS MOST IN
THE 50S WITH 60S ON THE TABLE FOR SOME. THE COLDER AIRMASS FINALLY
ARRIVES BEHIND THIS AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY, KNOCKING
TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN INTO THE 30S TO LOWER 40S.
THURSDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND
A SECOND SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO ARRIVE LATE NEXT WEEK. THIS
SYSTEM IS ANTICIPATED TO TRACK A BIT FARTHER SOUTH COMPARED TO THE
PREVIOUS SYSTEM. THIS FARTHER SOUTH TRACK SHOULD PROMOTE THE RETURN
OF AT LEAST A LOW CHANCE (15-30%) OF PRECIPITATION. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT SHOULD ALSO ARRIVE BEHIND THIS SYSTEM HEADING INTO NEXT
WEEKEND.
