Tricky Temperatures Next Week

Although we're fairly certain that some quick-hitting light snows will brush the Stateline over the 7-day period, I'll admit that the temperature forecast is a bit tricky. The average position of the jetstream will be just about overhead -- across the northern tier states through Wednesday of next week. Although we have temperatures staying pretty close to average -- 20s for highs, around 10 for overnight lows -- a slight dip in the jetstream to the south could allow some cold, Arctic air to plunge into the area on Sunday and early next week. Some of this Arctic air is already impacting the central plains. Grand Island, Nebraska, for example, sits at -2F this evening (and it's only 8pm!). Stay-tuned... We'll be following the model trends and update you on the forecast as we continue to get more information.
