Rain departure in inches for July so far: In general, Nebraska has been really wet, while there has been a drier area from Kansas to southern/eastern Iowa and northern Missouri running a bit behind from normal on rain this month.
After a dry past few days., there are light showers moving through parts of the region today. Nothing heavy or strong is expected. Forecast rainfall through tonight:
Here’s the forecast rainfall from Friday to Saturday AM…..it does appear there will actually be more sunshine Friday which will allow temperatures to soar. We’ll see some pop-up storms over west-central Nebraska Friday night….but a lot of the region will be dry.
Wind forecast over the next 4 days:
A front will pass through the area Sunday and Monday…but nature of rain is very scattered and more likely in Iowa/Missouri. This will not bring anything substantial for most locations.
Cluster of storms in Iowa next Tuesday-Wednesday? Data honing in on one, but differences in placement at this distance. I have posted a comparison of 2 global models below. We’ll just mention the potential at this distance and fine-tune over the coming days.
