Surface high has settled into northeast WY and the western Dakotas, with temps early this morning in the 30s/40s. Highs today will generally be in the lower to mid 70s on the plains with southerly flow returning. Next upper wave moves through Monday, with winds shifting back to the northwest. Highs will reach into the 80s south/east of the Black Hills ahead of the cold front. Tuesday will cool back down into the 70s behind the fropa. Large upper ridge building through the Rockies Tuesday will shift into the Plains Wednesday and Thursday, with temps back well into the 80s Wednesday along with some 90s Thursday. Ridge will flatten late in the week and weekend as disturbed westerly flow strengthens over the northern tier. This will support a slight cool down, but chances for precip will remain very low.
