High pressure finally brought sunshine back to Nebraska on Thursday...with temperatures in the mid 60s to mid 70s. As that high pressure system slides off to our east...a very unsettled weather pattern will take shape over the heartland. A trough of low pressure to our west is expected to eject several disturbances across the region through the upcoming weekend and even into next week. The result will be breezy, warmer and more humid conditions...with periodic thunderstorm chances each day. Some strong-to-severe 'storms will be possible during this stretch. This is a tough-to-pin-down weather pattern for several reasons. The disturbances approaching from the west can be hard to track...cloud cover from overnight thunderstorms may impact the amount of afternoon heating and instability...and decaying thunderstorms may leave weak outflow boundaries, where thunderstorms may initiate later in the day. With that in mind...and with graduations and outdoor activities sure to be widespread...we ask you to please stay up-to-date with daily forecasts. It will not be raining all weekend long...but timing the thunderstorm activity will be difficult...be prepared for some disruption of your plans...and check in with Brandon, Tony and Rusty over the next few days. Be safe.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy with a slight chance for a late-night shower or thunderstorm...mainly in Central Nebraska. Lows in the upper 40s to low 50s. Southeast winds of 5 to 15 mph...with gusts to 20 or 25 mph at times.
FRIDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy, breezy and milder with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Southeast winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph possible.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms...some 'storms may be strong-to-severe. Lows in the mid 50s to low 60s. Southeast winds of 10 to 20 mph...gusts to 30 mph possible.
SATURDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy, breezy, warm and humid with a 50% chance of more showers and thunderstorms...again some strong-to-severe 'storms will be possible at times. Highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. South winds of 15 to 30 mph.
