Winds Let Up, Colder for MLK Day
For once we look to have a fairly typical January evening in store to close out the weekend. Stronger winds will linger into the overnight hours, but temperatures are right about where we would expect them to be in mid-January.
There is a small chance of snow on Sunday evening for central and eastern portions of the state. Above is the latest run of StormCast showing the timing of tonight’s isolated snow showers.
After another breezy afternoon, stronger wind gusts look to slowly taper off for the end of Sunday.
We are expecting another evening of colder temperatures for southeast Nebraska, with most of us seeing lows below 10 degrees.
Partly cloudy skies and wind chills between -5 and -10 degrees tonight for the Lincoln area.
By 8 a.m Monday, temperatures will likely still be in the single digits with our wind chills below zero. No school for Lincoln Public Schools tomorrow, but it will be frigid for the morning commute.
Highs for Monday look to only reach the middle and upper 20s for most of southeast Nebraska.
We will aim for the mid-20s on MLK Day with modest wind gusts compared to this weekend.
The rest of the upcoming week will feature highs in the 30s and 40s ahead of our next storm system arriving late Friday. Next weekend looks familiar as we get another round of bitter cold along with some chances for snow.
