.DISCUSSION...
A warm front will advance east through western Nebraska Monday and
then through north central Nebraska Monday night. The warm front
will be followed by the passage of a Pacific cold front Tuesday
afternoon.
Dry air will move into northern Nebraska tonight and the forecast
is for generally clear skies and dry weather Monday. Afternoon
cumulus clouds are certainly possible, given cold air aloft will
still be in place. Showers possible with the approach and passage
of the cold front Tuesday.
The models are in reasonably good agreement lowering humidity to
around 35 percent Monday and predict light west-northwest winds.
Winds will become light Monday evening followed by a shift to
southeast late Monday evening.
