Calmer winds with warmer temperatures.
Some much needed rain fell throughout the state last night into this morning with the heaviest at Chadron where they picked up 1.14″ which also included snow.
Lows overnight will range from the lower 30’s central to the lower 40’s in eastern Nebraska.
A warmer day is expected beginning the work week with highs near normal central to upper 60’s east.
Winds won’t be as strong tomorrow as we saw this weekend, but gusts will still reach near 30 MPH.
Mostly sunny skies will prevail in our part of the country to view the partial solar eclipse.
The maximum portion of the solar eclipse will occur at 1:53 PM Monday in parts of southeast Nebraska.
Overall temperatures this week will be above normal including lower 70’s on Friday.
Our next chance of rain arrives next weekend along with highs in the lower 80’s Saturday. Cooler conditions arrive Sunday then dropping back into the lower 60’s Monday through Wednesday. It’s also that time of year when cold fronts pushing through the region tend to trigger thunderstorm activity and with rain chances next Sunday and Monday, storms can’t be ruled out.
