Up and Down Temperatures through the Holiday Weekend

The high temperature of 47 degrees Tuesday was reached a little after 1 AM.  Since then, the numbers have been falling as colder air spills south.  Overnight lows Tuesday will drop into the low 20's, with a few spots even down into the upper teens.  This a result of high pressure moving through the Stateline.


Temperatures through the holiday weekend will be more like a roller coaster ride as numbers fall back into the 30's for Wednesday, and then into the 50's for Friday, only to drop back down into the 30's for Sunday.


A series of storm systems will pass through the northern Plains and Upper Midwest this week.  Each one will draw in a little warmth with it, but also pull down cooler air as it passes, leading to the rise and fall of highs this week.  With the majority of Gulf moisture blocked this week the chance for rain will remain minimal.  It looks like Friday evening/night we may get a few passing showers with the arrival of a cold front.  After that the weekend is looking dry.
