Tuesday Forecast: Staying sunny and warm!

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb (KNEP)- It’s a copy and paste forecast kind of week across the state as we aren’t expecting much in the way of sensible weather over the coming days. It won’t be until this weekend and early next week that rain chances and more seasonal weather returns to the forecast. Until that time, it’s just more of the same - sunshine, mild and dry weather.

More warm weather is expected by Tuesday afternoon as temperatures remain well above average. Look for highs in the upper 70s to perhaps the upper 80s across the western third of the state. Normal high temperatures for early October across the area generally sit right around 70°.

The warm weather will continue through the remainder of the week and into the first half of the weekend with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. A cold front appears to be on track to move through the area Saturday evening and into Sunday. This should give us a nice cool down to more seasonal levels into the upper 60s to low 70s for Sunday and Monday. That front will also be our next chance for rain across the area as the pattern appears to try and turn a bit more “stormy” as we head into next week.
