Cooler weather and stronger winds move in following Thursday’s rain chances. A Freeze Watch is in place for western Nebraska, with air temperatures down into the upper 20s possible late Thursday into early Friday.

Here is a look at our low temperatures in Lincoln through the weekend. Friday night into Saturday morning looks to bring the coldest air, dropping temperatures close to freezing.

Forecast:

Cool, fall-like weather continues for Thursday morning as temperatures drop to the 40s and 50s statewide.

Our temperatures look to fall to the upper 40s overnight in Lincoln, with showers likely after midnight.

Afternoon temperatures remain on the cooler side for mid-October with highs on Thursday reaching the middle to upper 50s.

A stronger northwesterly wind moves in Thursday, along with chances for showers through most of the day in the Capital City. Temperatures will likely be sluggish through most of the day thanks to overcast skies.

We shave off a few more degrees as a strong northwesterly wind ramps up across the state on Friday. Winds could gust up to 45 miles per hour with air temperatures only reaching the lower 50s.

Cold temperatures reach their peak on Saturday morning before a warm-up settles in through the weekend. Highs return to the 60s and 70s under mostly sunny skies through mid-October. We look to remain dry until the back half of next week.
