Wednesday's Weather Thoughts

Things can only get better from here weather-wise – and they will.

Today’s weather was more typical of mid-February than mid-May, and highs across Greater Nebraska failed to get any higher than the middle 40’s. Most of the rain exited the viewing area by mid-afternoon, but clouds, mist and some fog, along with a bit of a breeze certainly took away any thoughts of Spring.

Tonight will remain cloudy and misty, with some patchy fog also, with lows falling to the lower 30’s. While it appears that most lows will not fall below freezing, it will be a close call so you may want to protect any sensitive plants outside.
Thursday will start with some clouds and maybe some patchy fog, but by afternoon there will be more in the way of sunshine, and highs will respond by climbing into the upper 50’s. However, a stiff breeze will make it feel cooler.

There is some concern for a frost or freeze on Thursday night if skies become mainly clear and winds are light, so stay tuned to later forecasts for this possibility.
Beginning Friday, temperatures should continue to climb closer to the seasonal averages which are now in the lower 70’s. The next chance of showers and thunderstorms will come Friday night and Saturday as a disturbance approaches the region. Temperatures will stay close to the seasonal norms through the beginning of next week.
