4-27-18 Central Plains Forecast: Great weather into the weekend….stormy pattern next week! N.

Beautiful weather over the next couple of days….we gradually work in changes from Sunday through next week.  We are looking at a multiple day severe weather threat….starting Sunday and Monday over the western Plains, then the threat increases and shifts east mid-week.  Thinking Wednesday will be the day of greatest concern for more widespread rains/storms and a possible severe storm event.  Time to recap your severe weather preparedness plan!  

Data is coming into better agreement regarding rainfall amounts through late next week….thinking is pockets of 1-2″ from eastern Nebraska/Kansas to much of Iowa and Missouri.  I think southwest Kansas will remain drier, as the dry-line will shift the storm focus east of there.  

High temperatures over the next 4 days:

Low temperatures over the next 4 days….watch those lows in northeast Nebraska and central/northern Iowa for a frost risk Saturday morning, then a light freeze is possible for northeast Iowa Sunday morning.
