Cool weather rounds out the weekend ahead of a warm-up next week

HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - Clouds will stick around for most of the area through the overnight hours as temperatures dip back through the 60s. By Sunday morning, low temperatures will be down into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Some thunderstorms in the Panhandle during the evening will push eastward and weaken through the night. By early tomorrow morning, there could be some showers into Central Nebraska. These showers should diminish through the morning, but clouds could stick around for much of the area on Sunday. This will again keep temperatures well below average. Highs tomorrow are expected to mostly be in the upper 60s and low to mid 70s. It could be a bit warmer over the western quarter of the state where there may be more sunshine. During the mid to late afternoon, showers and thunderstorms are expected to fire up. These will continue into the evening hours. Some isolated severe weather will be possible with large hail and severe wind gusts possible. Chances will be greatest over the northern half or so of the area with lower chances farther south.

Clouds will stick around to start off Monday, but some sunshine should return to help temperatures warm up a bit. Highs on Monday get to the mid to upper 70s and lower 80s. The warming trend will continue and for the middle to end of the week, highs should be a bit closer to average in the 80s and lower 90s. We’ll also see an uptick in the humidity for the middle of the week. The active weather will continue through the week as nearly daily chances for showers and thunderstorms are expected. Some days will have better chances than others. Most days, storms will fire up way out west in the afternoon, then push east southeast through the overnight hours.
