A few sprinkles will be possible through the overnight in Lincoln, though most will remain dry. Temperatures are expected to sneak just below the 50-degree mark by Tuesday morning.

Overcast skies help level temperatures out for most of us, with highs in the 60s on Tuesday afternoon.

After a brief trip on the cooler side of the front, southerly winds return Tuesday afternoon for the Capital City. This should bring in a little sunshine along with afternoon temperatures reaching the middle 60s.

Southerly winds increase on Wednesday afternoon as an area of low pressure tries to form off the Rockies. Highs across the state will see a bump to the 60s and 70s.

Precipitation chances pick up by Friday morning, with several waves of rainfall possible through early next week. Fall-like temperatures will arrive shortly after the start of November, with some long-range models hinting at a stronger disturbance moving through the plains.
