HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) – After a rainy and windy start to the day, we ended the day on a calm and dry note. The weather will remain calm and dry for the rest of the week. However, the weather turns active and colder next week. Wait till you see what might come our way.

With the wind down, clear skies and a much cooler air mass, it will be a cold night in the area. Lows tonight reaching the 20s for most locations. After a cold start to Thursday, we’ll see the return of southerly flow and some warmer air. Highs tomorrow climbing into the upper 60s. Due to southerly winds, Thursday night won’t be as cold, with lows mostly in the 30s. Winds will pick up from the south Friday and Saturday ahead of our next system that will bring cooler temperatures early next week. Highs Friday and Saturday, mostly in the 60s. A cold front moves through late Saturday, bringing some cooler air to the area for Sunday. This appears to be a dry front, so we are not anticipating much in the way of precipitation with it. What you will see is a noticeably cooler day on Sunday, with highs in the 50s.

An upper level low moves out of the US Southwest and into the Central Plains on Monday. This system will bring a widespread chance of rain during the day Monday through Monday evening. After Tuesday, there is moderate confidence that there will be much colder air that could support the snow midweek. However, there is low confidence at this point if we will see snow as long range guidance is divided as the upper level moves through the region. Some models have a slower moving system that would allow moisture to enter the area. Other designs have a faster moving system that would not allow moisture to enter the area behind the bottom. There are still many days to work out the details. Just something to keep an eye on as we approach next week.
