Cool temperatures and frosty nights will continue into the weekend

HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - To start the day, northern areas have more clearing than southern areas. Those areas were able to drop below freezing overnight and early this morning. Farther south, clouds kept things a little bit milder. There have also been some areas of sprinkles or flurries and at times even very light rain or snow. Some clouds will will fill in across the north as the morning goes on. Northeastern areas will have the best chance of keeping some sunshine around today. Those areas will likely be a bit breezier than everybody else with northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph. Winds will be lighter the farther southwest you go. Temperatures will remain seasonably cool with highs from the upper 40s northwest to around 60° southeast. There’s a better chance for more widespread frost and freezing conditions...especially in areas where clouds clear out. This will mainly be for northern and eastern areas. Clouds will remain farther south and west. In fact, areas to the west and southwest will have a chance of rain, mixing with and changing to snow. Some snow may accumulate with up to an inch possible closer to the Colorado border. Low temperatures tonight will range from the low/mid 20s northwest to the mid 30s south. The Tri-Cities will likely drop to right around or a little below the freezing point.

Much of the area will be mostly cloudy again tomorrow with continued snow and rain over Southwest Nebraska. Temperatures will be cool and even chilly. Highs will range from the low/mid 40s west to the mid 50s east. We’ll see more clearing from north to south Saturday night, but some light rain and snow will remain over southwestern areas. With the clearing, it’ll be another chilly where many will drop below freezing. Lows will range from the mid 20s northwest to the mid 30s south. Sunshine returns Sunday and temperatures start to warm up with highs into the low to mid 60s.

Temperatures will be more seasonable next week in the 60s and 70s. Monday will be one of our warmer days with highs from the mid 60s northwest to the upper 70s south. It will be a windier day with a chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms. Temperatures will cool down Tuesday and Wednesday behind a cold front. Most will be in the 60s. Temperatures come up a little later in the week. Chances of rain and thunderstorms may pick up from Thursday into the weekend. There’s still too much uncertainty to know if severe weather will impact our area, so stay tuned.
