Much of Greater Nebraska received a soaking rain overnight and today, though thunderstorms that I thought would cause even heavier rainfall did not materialize.
Regardless, rain amounts from only one-tenth of an inch up to and over one and one-half inches fell, and the rain will continue overnight before tapering off during Thursday. There still could be an isolated storm tonight and Thursday, especially across eastern areas, but any storms should be few. Lows tonight will settle into the 40’s, and highs Thursday will approach 60. Some sun could even peek out during the afternoon tomorrow.
Friday will begin the transition to a more summerlike pattern, but highs are a tough call since fog, perhaps dense, is likely overnight Thursday into Friday morning. If this fog lingers into the afternoon, highs will be held down into the lower 70’s and perhaps even upper 60’s. However, is the fog is not as dense or burns off quickly, highs could reach the upper 70’s.
But the real warmth will come Saturday and Sunday as highs approach the middle 80's. Temperatures could even go higher since we will be tapping into some desert warmth, but a couple of weather systems will keep a threat of thunderstorms in the forecast from the weekend through early next week. Any storms would hold highs down a bit, but even if storms do develop it will not rain the entire time.
Check back with News 2 over the next couple of days to get updates on the weekend forecast.
