.DISCUSSION... Issued at 232 AM CDT Sun May 28
2023  Key Messages:   - Above-normal temperatures
through next week   - Periodic, low-probability
rain chances today through Friday  Blocking high
pressure will slide just far enough east today to
finally allow moisture to seep towards the
Missouri River Valley from the west. A weak
shortwave trough progressing out of the Rockies
will provide forcing for scattered showers and
thunderstorms over central Nebraska this morning,
which will continue to push east into the forecast
area by this afternoon and evening. A boost in
instability from diurnal heating may produce a
couple of stronger storms over northeast Nebraska,
late this afternoon and evening. However, no
severe storms are expected at this time. Showers
will continue to overspread the forecast area
Sunday night, with overall coverage dwindling
through Monday morning.  A few spotty showers and
storms will be possible throughout the Memorial
Day holiday, although precipitation chance will
only be around 30-40%. The best chance being west
of the Missouri River Monday afternoon. Again,
severe storms are not anticipated.  A hodgepodge
of weak disturbances will parade across the
central CONUS this week, providing off and on
chances for spotty showers and storms each day.
The best chances will likely be in the afternoons
and evenings with diurnal heating.  Unfortunately,
it will be difficult to make up any major
precipitation deficits next week without any
sufficient forcing mechanism or surface boundary
in the forecast at this time.  Temperatures will
remain above normal with highs in the mid 80s
Monday and mid 80s to around 90 from
Tuesday-Friday.
