An upper trough axis was currently located from eastern UT
through NM. The upper flow across western Nebraska was south
southwesterly with surface low pressure across WY into CO, with
a surface pressure gradient across Nebraska. Southerly winds
were gusting as high as 25 to 30 mph.
Tonight, an increase in mid and upper level moisture, as the
lower levels below H7 remain very dry. Lows tonight mild from
the mid 50s to lower 60s, as southerly winds gust to 25 mph
across north central Nebraska.
Tuesday, the surface trough will be positioned across eastern WY
and eastern CO, with a surface pressure gradient across SD, NE
and KS. This will maintain a breezy southerly wind with gusts up
to 30 mph. Highs climbing into the low to mid 80s. Morning
cloudiness in the east, then mostly sunny.
Tuesday night, an increase in atmospheric moisture as a weak
upper trough moves in. Some of the CAMs as well as the NAM, GFS
and ECMWF indicate some very light QPFs possible in the east.
With lower levels below 750mb still fairly dry, will keep a dry
forecast, although sprinkles or isolated light rain showers may
need to be introduced Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Saturday. Slight chance to low end chance POPs begin Friday

VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period.
Breezy southeast winds will likely persist overnight, though
with decreasing frequency of stronger gusts. Increasing flow off
the surface should yield LLWS concerns with greatest confidence
at VTN. Tomorrow, breezy south winds will once again redevelop
quickly after sunrise and increase to around 25 knots in the
afternoon.
