DISCUSSION

AS OF 3PM, SKIES HAVE CLEARED OVER MOST OF THE AREA, AND
TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE UPPER 70S AND 80S (NEAR 90 IN
PARTS OF KS). SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE GUSTING 30-35 MPH, AND ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN BREEZY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
CAMS CONTINUE TO SHOW SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL
NEBRASKA TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THERE IS JUST
ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER...BUT CERTAINLY
NOTHING SEVERE. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD EXIT THE AREA BEFORE
SUNRISE ON SUNDAY.
SUNDAY WILL BE ANOTHER WARM DAY, ALTHOUGH A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH
INTO THE AREA, TURNING WINDS TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST DURING
THE AFTERNOON. AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE AREA, HUMIDITY MAY
DIP AS LOW AS 20% IN WESTERN ZONES (DAWSON, GOSPER, FURNAS
COUNTIES).
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS RETURN SUNDAY EVENING. MANY CAMS KEEP THE
INITIAL DEVELOPMENT LARGELY SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA...ALONG THE
FRONT...BUT A FEW ADDITIONAL SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP FURTHER NORTH
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. THAT SAID, COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED AND THE CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE PRECIP IS
LOW (20%).
LOW POPS LINGER IN SOUTHEASTERN AREAS DURING THE
DAYTIME MONDAY, BUT MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN DRY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 60S...WHICH IS
15-20 DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS WEEKEND. A BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN
SHOWERS ARRIVES IN THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY, THANKS
TO MOISTURE AND LIFT AHEAD OF A DEEP TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
CONUS.
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY TREND WARMER (POSSIBLY NEAR 80 AGAIN ON
THURSDAY), BUT THE TROUGH WILL FORCE A COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER COOLDOWN
AND ADDITIONAL RAIN CHANCES IN THIS TIMEFRAME.
