Today...

Patchy cloud cover blanketed the region overnight, keeping
temperatures in the 50s and 60s by 2 AM. A cold front draped just
north of a line from Columbus, NE to Onawa, IA will continue to
drift southeastward over for forecast area today, as an upper trough
shifts southeast across southern Canada and into the Great Lakes
region. Temperatures will be slightly cooler, but still well above
normal, in the mid 60s to low 70s this afternoon. Highs on Sunday
will dip a little further still, ranging from the mid 50s to low
60s. Any moisture associated with this system looks to remain north
of the region, allowing dry weather to prevail through Sunday.

Monday through Tuesday...

The next low pressure system to effect the region will move out of
the Rockies early Monday morning. Isentropic lift ahead of the
incoming low will bring showers to the forecast area by late Monday
morning, overspreading eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa into the
afternoon and evening. The latest run of the GFS has fallen into
step with the majority of the other models, taking the surface low a
smidge farther north, into northern Kansas Monday afternoon, which
in turn keeps the colder air just off to our north. Thus snow is
looking less and less likely at this juncture. Light rain will
linger into Monday night before pushing east with the departing low.
Temperatures will top out in the 50s Monday afternoon, but are
expected to dip into the 30s Monday night.

Dry conditions return Tuesday as weak ridging builds back into the
Central Plains. Temperatures remain cooler on Tuesday, in the upper
40s and low 50s.

Wednesday and Beyond...

The next weather system arrives Wednesday into Thursday. While the
timing and exact details are still to be seen, ensembles remain in
decent agreement that any precipitation would come in the form of
rain. Daytime highs look to remain a few degrees above normal in the
mid 50s. Overnight lows are forecast to stay near to just above
freezing through the end of the upcoming work week.

Tonight through Sunday...

Soak in the last few hours of this record mid November heat because
highs slide back down into the upper 40s to low 60s for a majority
of next week. Tonight, lows will settle in the mid 40s to low 50s,
likely being the warmest lows we could see here for a while. Highs
for the rest of the weekend (mid 60s to mid 70s for Saturday and low
to mid 60s for Sunday), will follow a downward trend leading into
Tuesday.

Light to steady winds out of the southwest this evening and
tonight will flip to the north once a weak cold front passes south
and through the region Saturday morning. This flip in wind
directions will cut off the southwesterly warm air advecting
downslope winds that have recently helped bump the temperatures up.
A sliver of high surface pressure forming in place behind this front
will spread in across the Northern and North Central Plains. This
feature should keep winds towards the lighter end of speeds (mainly
