LIGHT WIND, CLEAR SKIES, RECENT MOISTURE AND RADIATIONAL COOLING
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
AREA THIS MORNING. VISIBILITIES MAY FALL BELOW ONE MILE IN SOME
LOCATIONS. MODELS HAVE NOT DONE WELL PICKING UP ON THE FOG POTENTIAL
THUS FAR THIS MORNING. FOG HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE FORECAST TO ACCOUNT
FOR CONCERNS OVER ITS DEVELOPMENT. IT IS MOST LIKELY IN LOW-LYING
AREAS AND SHOULD CLEAR OUT BY MID-MORNING.
AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF COOLER TEMPERATURES, A CHANGE IS COMING. THE
AREA WILL BE UNDER NORTHERLY FLOW WITH AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
DAKOTAS TODAY. AFTER A COOL START TO THE DAY, TEMPERATURES WILL
RECOVER, CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S THIS AFTERNOON.
TODAY WILL BE A DRY OUT DAY AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF COOL AND DAMP
CONDITIONS.
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, A CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL SLIDE SOUTH THROUGH
THE WEST RIVER REGION OF SOUTH DAKOTA AND INTO NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DROP THROUGH CENTRAL NEBRASKA
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
EXPECTED HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW 80S IN THE
NORTHWEST TO THE MID-80S ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM GRAND ISLAND
TO HOLDREGE. STORMS SHOULD TAPER OFF IN THE EVENING AS THE LOW
BECOMES AN OPEN WAVE, MOVING TO THE SOUTHEAST, INTO SOUTHWESTERN
MISSOURI AND SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.
SUMMER-LIKE HEAT SETS IN SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS AN UPPER RIDGE MOVES
OVER NEBRASKA AND THE DAKOTAS. HIGHS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 80S ON
SUNDAY. MOST AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO MEET OR EXCEED 90 DEGREES MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
WE'LL SEE A SHIFT IN THE PATTERN MONDAY EVENING, WITH THE RIDGE
MOVING TO THE EAST AND A BROAD UPPER TROUGH LOCATED WEST TO EAST
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO. A DISTURBANCE IS
EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST OUT OF THE FOUR CORNERS REGION MONDAY
EVENING, BRINGING A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO MANY LOCATIONS.
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED IN THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE REGION ON TUESDAY, BRINGING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
STORMS. THIS SET UP WILL BE SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. TUESDAY ALSO BRINGS A COOL DOWN, WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOW 70S TO LOW 80S.
PERIODIC SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE FORECAST
FROM WEDNESDAY TO FRIDAY. EXPECT A GRADUAL WARMING TREND, WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOW TO MID-70S WEDNESDAY, AND A RETURN TO THE 80S IN THE
FORECAST FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.
