Regional Weather Summary for the High Plains

National Weather Service Goodland KS

237 AM MDT Sat May 4 2024



High temperatures approached 80 degrees across the majority of 

the Tri-State area on Friday. Widespread thunderstorms affected 

the region late Friday afternoon and evening, producing severe 

weather across portions of the area, mainly in the form of 60 to 

70 mph wind gusts, though a few instances of large hail were 

observed. The airport in McCook, Nebraska measured a wind gust of 

71 mph at 749 PM CDT Friday evening. At 230 AM MDT this morning, 

temperatures across the region ranged from the mid 30s in 

northeast Colorado, where the sky was clear, to the mid 40s in 

northwest Kansas and southwest Nebraska, where overcast cloud 

cover persists. Winds were from the north at 15 to 25 mph.



OUTLOOK... Benign weather, characterized by slightly below 

average temperatures, mostly clear skies and light winds, will 

prevail today. Strengthening southerly winds and a warming trend 

will follow, on Sunday, as yet another low pressure system 

develops in the lee of the central Rockies. The aforementioned low

pressure system will bring active weather, including a potential 

for severe thunderstorms, to portions of the Central Plains on 

Monday, mainly in central and eastern Kansas and Oklahoma.
