DISCUSSION
Issued at 443 AM CDT Tue Mar 19 2024
Today and Tonight...
Today will be the warmest day of the forecast period, with highs in the 60s across south central Nebraska, and portions of north central kansas climbing into the 70s. Winds will become breezy and northerly during the morning hours, but winds will gradually decrease during the afternoon and evening hours. The strongest winds will be mainly northeast of the Tri-Cities. While afternoon relative humidity (RH)
values will fall below 25% for most areas, decreasing winds and the lowest RH values being displaced from the highest winds will limit fire weather concerns to being "elevated". Lows tonight will hover around the freezing mark for most areas, with the warmest locations across north central Kansas.
Wednesday...
A backdoor cold front will lead to a cooler day, with highs in the mid 40s to upper 50s. Temperatures in some locations will be 20 degrees colder than on Tuesday. Winds will be breezy and easterly during the day on Wednesday, with gusts to 25 mph. While winds will be breezy on Wednesday, RH values will be higher than on Tuesday, and the strongest winds will be displaced from the lowest RH values once again, keeping any fire weather concerns low.
Thursday through Friday afternoon...
Highs on Thursday will be in the 50s, with lows approaching the 60s across eastern portions of the area. A quick moving clipper system will move north of the area Thursday night, bringing the next chance for precipitation (15-45%) to the area. Areas north of I-80 will have the highest chances (25-45%) to see any precipitation from this system. Any rain that does fall Thursday night is expected to remain light. Both the ECMWF and GFS ensembles show a 10% chance or for 0.10 inches or more of precipitation, with the highest chances northeast of the Tri-Cities. Any precipitation will come to an end Friday morning. Friday will be cooler behind the cold frontal passage, with highs in the 40s and 50s.
Friday night through Tuesday...
An active pattern will continue this weekend as an approaching trough over the west coast will bring multiple chances for precipitation to the area. There remains uncertainty regarding the exact track and development of the system however the general timing of rain/snow is gradually becoming clearer. The highest chances for rain (50-75%) will occur this weekend within the warm sector of the low. A few thunderstorms are possible this weekend as weak instability moves into the area, however at this time any severe thunderstorms are not expected. Snow will be possible along the backside of the system as it departs from the Plains Sunday night into Monday. Model spread increases as the low begins to exit the area, bringing uncertainty on the potential snow impacts. While precipitation chances currently persist from Friday night through Tuesday morning, this will become more refined as the details on the system become clearer. This system will continue to be monitored closely over the coming days to determine the exact impacts it will bring.
There remains considerable uncertainty on temperatures this weekend, with the NBM 25-75th percentile temperatures showing a 20+ degree spread in high temperatures on Saturday and Sunday.
Temperatures will be cooler as the system departs the area next week.
