Kyle's Cast:

Similar to this time yesterday, we're currently seeing widely scattered showers and thunderstorms across our region. These storms are moving off to the southwest, which is very uncommon in our part of the country, and this is due to a combination of a weak high pressure system located over the eastern Dakotas providing light upper-level winds out of the northeast along with a surface trough located over western Nebraska providing a source of lift for these storms to initiate. The severe threat will once again remain low this evening, and these storms should wind down around sunset. A similar day is in store again tomorrow with more pop-up showers and storms expected tomorrow afternoon, but many places will stay dry for most of the day tomorrow. A brief dry period will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, but more rain chances are anticipated towards the end of the week with the best chance of rain coming late Friday and into Saturday as of now. Temperatures today have been variable in the 70s and 80s, and we'll see low temperatures tonight fall into the 50s and low 60s. With light winds and plentiful low-level moisture expected tonight, there may once again be some areas of patchy fog tonight through tomorrow morning. Temperatures will be running warm the next few days in the mid to upper 80s for most with some low 90s possible as well. With better rain chances towards the weekend, temperatures by next weekend will likely be cooler and closer to average in the upper 70s and low 80s.
