AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRACK ACROSS THE PLAINS ON SUNDAY,
SENDING A STRONG COLD FRONT SOUTH INTO THE BIG COUNTRY EARLY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE REST OF THE AREA BY EARLY EVENING. STRONG
NORTH WINDS AND MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL FILTER IN BEHIND THE
FRONT. BUMPED WINDS UP A BIT FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS
THE AREA, AND A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FALL THROUGHT THE AFTERNOON BEHIND
THE FRONT, WITH TEMPERATURES STEADILY FALLING INTO THE 60S AND
EVENTUALLY 50S BY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TP FALL THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WITH MOST LOCATIONS
DROPPING INTO THE TO OR A BIT BELOW FREEZING BY DAYBREAK. LOWS ARE
FORECAST TO BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S. ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL
STEADILY BE COMING DOWN BY SUNRISE, NORTH WINDS WILL STILL BE IN THE
10 TO 15 MPH RANGE, RESULTING IN WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE UPPER
TEENS TO MID 20S. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IN THE 80S AND LOWER 90S, IT
WILL DEFINITELY FEEL CHILLY OUT THERE MONDAY MORNING. FULL
SUNSHINE ON MONDAY SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE 50S
FOR MOST LOCATIONS, BUT THIS IS STILL WELL BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS.
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING, GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AS WINDS BECOME LIGHT, SKIES REMAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR AND DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE TEENS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE LOW TO MID 30S, ALTHOUGH A FEW LOW LYING AREAS
COULD BE COLDER. SOME OF THE GUIDANCE BRINGS WINDS UP A BIT BY
DAYBREAK, AND THIS COULD PLAY A FACTOR IN HOW COLD TEMPERATURES GET
TUESDAY MORNING. FOR NOW, KEPT TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S,
BUT THESE MIGHT EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE TRENDED DOWN.
A WARMING TREND IS THEN EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE REST OF THE
WORK WEEK. A PLEASANT DAY IS IN STORE ON TUESDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S AND SOUTH WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH. HIGHS ON
WEDNESDAY WILL APPROACH THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS,
AND BY THURSDAY, MUCH OF THE AREA WILL TOP OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER
80S, WITH OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES INTO THE LOWER 90S.
