Today and tonight...
An upper level trough is centered over the Midwest and northeast states with upper ridging over the southwest part of the country.
Light north to northwest winds across south central and central Nebraska and north central Kansas will transition to the south by this evening with a surface high moving off to the southeast. High temperatures today are expected to be in the 40s and 50s. Low temperatures tonight will be mostly in the 20s with some lower 30s.
Wednesday and Thursday...
Upper ridging will begin to take shape over the central part of the country on Wednesday. Surface winds will be out of the south to southwest Wednesday afternoon with temperatures warming up into the 50s and 60s. Low temperatures Wednesday night will mostly be in the 20s and 30s with mostly clear skies. An upper trough will begin to move over the Northern Plains on Thursday resulting in surface winds across south central and central Nebraska and north central Kansas becoming more westerly. Temperatures across the area will continue to warm with highs mostly in the 60s. The record high temperature for Grand Island for Thursday is 65 degrees and the forecast high temperature is 62 degrees. Skies are expected to be mostly sunny Thursday afternoon. Relative humidity values are expected to drop to around 25 percent across portions of the far western forecast area both Wednesday and Thursday. Winds will generally be around 10 mph on Wednesday across these areas but may briefly reach near 15 to 20 mph on Thursday across western Dawson and Gosper Counties. This may result in elevated to near critical fire weather conditions on Thursday across these two counties. Low temperatures Thursday night will be in the 30s.
Friday through next Tuesday...
Winds will shift to the north on Friday as a cold front moves into the area. This front will be accompanied by an upper level trough moving over the central part of the country. High temperatures will be in the 40s and 50s with mostly cloudy skies. Chances of rain and snow will increase Friday night into Saturday as lift increases over the area from the upper trough. Precipitation chances will be 15 to 30 percent Friday night into Saturday across the forecast area. Low temperatures Friday night will range from the low 20s to low 30s.
High temperatures on Saturday will mostly be in the 40s with gusty northerly winds. Precipitation chances will end by Saturday evening.
Mostly clear skies are expected Saturday night with temperatures dropping into the teens and 20s. Temperatures will mostly be in the 40s on Sunday as a broad, upper trough covers most of the country.
