The central and southern Plains are set to experience above-average temperatures in the coming days, bringing a welcome respite from recent cold spells. Highs are expected to range from the 50s to 60s in the northern parts of the region, while the southern areas will see temperatures climbing into the 60s, potentially reaching the upper 60s. This unseasonably warm weather is due to a ridge positioned to the west, which will effectively block colder air masses and maintain warmer conditions despite storm systems tracking to the north.
