Well, a little more moisture moved in up high bringing us a more cloud cover than we were looking for. Starting around 1PM some bumpers up in the north end of the metro moving out to DIA. Soulth end should skate on getting bumpers. Those northern bumpers won’t be bad, mostly a little noise, and there’s not enough moisture to really get a good rain out of them.
We’ll have cloud cover all day, scattered stuff around twelve thousand feet up, that’ll be the kind of fluffy ones, not quite Care Bear fluffy but fluffier than the ones that will be above at around twenty two thousand feet. That higher layer will be broken, which means covering most of the sky all day. Sounds like a cowboy song, doesn’t it? Watching Blazing Saddles this morning, everything sounds like a cowboy song.
Those thunder bumpers on the north side out to DIA will get going around 4ish, not bad ones, really, but the outflow from them will push air to the south too, so after 4PM winds will get occasionally gusty throughout the metro. Higher terrain south—hello Park Meadows—will compress the escaping airmass so, like putting your finger over the end of a hose, the gusts will be worse down that way. Maybe up to 35 knots. Knots? Oh gee, that’ll be about 40 MPH. A knot, nautical mile, is 6k feet versus our mile of 5280. Yeah, I don’t know, something caused by a bunch of rum-soaked navy dudes. I don’t think they could multiply complicated numbers.
We’ll still see mid to upper 80s on the temps. Through Wednesday more of the same, clearing off to blue skies for a time Monday and Tuesday, bumpers toward afternoon. It’s a series of weak surface fronts and troughs moving through and the jet stream aloft holding steady just north of us, from the northwest. Eastern Nebraska has some severe forecast today and tonight, so the weather channel will get some real drama going.
