Taking a look at August as a whole, we saw our highest temperatures in the upper 90s and temperatures all the way down into the lower 50s. We were over an inch and a half above average for rainfall for the month, with the majority of it falling on August 10.

For the rest of this evening, temperatures remain fairly consistent this evening in the lower 60s and upper 50s with mostly cloudy skies.

Tonight, low temperatures tonight drop into the upper 50s with mostly cloudy skies. Winds remain out of the east-southeast, but should be lighter between 5 and 10 miles per hour.

Looking forward, lows tonight in Lincoln fall to the upper 50s with mostly cloudy skies. A few sprinkles will be possible during the overnight hours with and east-southeast wind.
