.DISCUSSION...
AFTER A COOL MONDAY WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS...A WEAK RIDGE WILL
BUILD ACROSS THE AREA BRINGING MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES. TUESDAY
HIGHS RETURN CLOSE TO 70...HOWEVER SURFACE MOISTURE REMAINS LOW. THIS
WILL RESULT IN MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AROUND 20 PERCENT.
WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY AND LIGHT EARLY IN THE MORNING THEN
INCREASE TO AROUND 15 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. TUESDAY EVENING/NIGHT A
WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLY A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER TO THE PANHANDLE OF NEBRASKA.
