.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 354 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024

Today and tonight...

An upper trough is centered over southern Canada and extends
southward over much of the Midwest. Clear skies are present across
south central and central Nebraska and north central Kansas with
mostly light northerly winds. A surface high is across western
Nebraska. Expect low temperatures this morning to drop into the mid
30s to lower 50s due to these conditions. Areas of frost may occur
early this morning across Valley and Dawson Counties. The surface
high will move eastward across the area today with mostly northerly
winds. This will result in high temperatures today in the low to mid
70s. Winds will become southerly tonight as the surface high becomes
centered across Iowa. Low temperatures tonight are expected to range
from the mid 30s to upper 40s under clear skies. Frost may again
develop tonight across the same areas as this morning.

Monday through Saturday night...

Southerly winds are expected across south central and central
Nebraska and north central Kansas on Monday. Temperatures will warm
up into the mid to upper 70s across most of the area on Monday with
lows Monday night in the mid 40s to lower 50s. The warming trend
will continue through Friday with the area in between an upper ridge
across the southwest part of the country and an upper trough to the
east. High temperatures on Friday will be in the mid 80s to low 90s.
Low temperatures Thursday night and Friday night will mostly be in
the 50s. Winds Tuesday through Friday will generally be out of the
south. The upper pattern will change on Saturday as an upper trough
from the west approaches the area. This will bring in a cold front
either Saturday or Saturday night. High temperatures on Saturday are
expected to be cooler, especially across northwestern portions of
the forecast area. Low temperatures Saturday night are expected to
be in the 40s across most of south central and central Nebraska and
in the 40s and 50s across north central Kansas.
