Recent Rainfall:

Southeast Nebraska has gotten some much needed rain over the past 24 hours. The graphic above shows rainfall totals from 10 a.m. Saturday until 10 a.m. Sunday. Localized areas in Adams and Kearney County saw upwards of 4 inches of rain on Saturday.

The Weather Prediction Center has much of eastern Nebraska under a MARGINAL RISK of excessive rainfall through Monday. Multiple rounds of rainfall have moved through the area, increasing the risk for localized areas of flash flooding.

Per guidance from the Weather Prediction Center, any flash flooding should remain fairly localized, with urban and low-lying areas experiencing the greatest risk.

Forecast:

Temperatures will remain fairly stagnant on Sunday with temperatures expected to climb only a couple degrees during the afternoon hours. Widespread cloud cover and rain chances continue to keep us much cooler than average.

A few of us may see the lower 70s this afternoon, but highs remain in the upper 60s as you move east of the Tri-Cities on Sunday. Mostly cloudy skies and an easterly wind between 5 and 10 miles per hour, gusting to 20.

Stormcast shows showers lingering in the eastern half of the state for the last day of August.

Tonight, temperatures will only fall a handful of degrees from our daytime highs, with lows in the lower 60s. Plenty of cloud cover will linger into the overnight hours with a chance of showers and an isolated thunderstorm.

In Lincoln, we drop to the lower 60s this evening with mostly cloudy skies. Rain chances continue into the overnight hours with an easterly breeze.

Highs on Monday looks to be a rinse and repeat of today’s forecast with temperatures reaching the upper 60s and lower 70s. Another cloudy day ahead with rain chances for most of the day.

A dreary Labor Day forecast for the Capital City with temperatures tomorrow remaining in the 60s. Showers continue to blanket the forecast with a light breeze for most of the day.

Expect fall-like temperatures to continue for the first half of September, with much of the eastern half of the country remaining below average to start the new month.

Storm chances continue through the middle of this week before clear skies return on Thursday. High temperatures this week will be in the upper 60s and low 70s, with overnight lows dropping to the upper 40s and lower 50s by the end of the week. It does not get much better in terms of football weather on Saturday as the Huskers host Akron for their home-opener with highs in the mid-70s. Middle 70s continue into next week with partly cloudy skies.
