COLDER AIR MASS CONTINUES TO PROGRESS SOUTH INTO THE
FORECAST AREA, KEEPING TEMPERATURES COOL AGAIN FOR SUNDAY. THE
GREATEST INFLUENCE ON COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF
HWY 83 WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S, WHICH
WILL BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. DID TAKE OUT PRECIPITATION
CHANCES FOR SUNDAY AS DRY AIR WILL BE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME. FOR
MONDAY MORNING KEPT PRECIPITATION CHANCES LIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHERN
SANDHILLS AS PRECIPITATION MODE LOOKS TO BE ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS,
THERE COULD BE A BRIEF FEW HOURS OF COLDER TEMPERATURES IN THE
MORNING WHERE THERE COULD BE A RAIN/SNOW MIX, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW
IN LITTLE TO ANY PRECIPITATION OCCURRING ON MONDAY DURING THE
DAY.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 418 PM CST SAT FEB 28 2026
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROF PUSHES EASTWARD INTO THE REGION,
PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL GENERALLY BE TUESDAY MORNING AND
AFTERNOON, WITH THE GREATEST POTENTIAL ACROSS SOUTHERN AND SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. THOUGH PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE BETTER ON TUESDAY,
ANY BENEFICIAL WETTING RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED AS QPF WILL
GENERALLY BE BELOW 0.10 INCHES. A BETTER CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED BY LATE WEEK AS A STRONGER TROF DIGS INTO THE REGION, WILL
NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM. WARMER
TEMPERATURES RETURN WITH HIGHS WELL ABOVE NORMAL AS TEMPERATURES
WILL BE IN THE 50S TO 60S THROUGH THE WEEK.
