Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Farnam, NE

SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/
Issued at 114 AM CDT Sun May 31 2026

Today, lingering showers possible across the northeast in the morning as the upper trough axis lifts into eastern South Dakota. A surface trough will advance east to near Springview through Broken Bow by late afternoon bringing mostly sunny skies and much less humid conditions. Winds will be westerly winds 10 to 20 mph behind the trough, with dewpoints falling to 35 to the low 40s across the west. With gusts to 25 mph possible across the western Sandhills and humidity as low as 15 percent, near critical fire conditions are possible.

Tonight, surface high pressure will move into western South Dakota and push a weak cold front into the northwest Sandhills. Lows from 45 to 55.

Monday, surface low pressure will deepen across Wyoming and Colorado. A light northeast wind will become easterly in the afternoon at 10 to 20 mph across the west. Highs from the upper 70 to mid 80s. Southwest flow aloft will increase, with scattered thunderstorms developing across the western NE panhandle and northeast CO, to move into the western Sandhills and southwest NE late afternoon. Monday night, a cluster of storms, possibly an MCS is expected to move across portions of the forecast area overnight, supported by 1000-500mb thickness diffluence. PWATs improve to near 1 inch.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Issued at 114 AM CDT Sun May 31 2026

Tuesday through much of next week will be rather unsettled. Plenty of low-level moisture will be in place with dew points in the upper 50s to lower and mid 60s for much of the week. Upper level low pressure will slowly work it's way eastward from the northern Rockies to near the Winnipeg area by Thursday as it fills. This will keep our area in a southwest flow regime between the upper low to the north and upper level ridging across the Southern Plains and southeast. Several weak disturbances will be embedded within the flow aloft, and scattered convection is likely at times. Flow aloft will support the potential for some stronger storms, but still too early to determine exact timing and location. Otherwise, quite warm through the week. Highs will average mostly in the lower 80s right through Saturday. This is about 2 to 4 degrees above average for this time of year.
