The weather service says a large trough has swung across the Great Plains, resulting in a clipper system shifting across the Lower Missouri River Valley today. The system was too moisture-starved in this area to produce much of anything, according to the weather service.
As this system exits, there will be warmer temperatures across the region on Saturday, according to the weather service. Temperatures may reach as high as 60 on Saturday, bringing some gulf moisture with it to some areas.
Warm temperatures won’t last, as this circulation from the southwest will eject across the plains area on Sunday morning, setting the stage for the next chance at some precipitation on Sunday morning, according to the weather service.
