Temperatures climb in to the weekend

We’re going in to the 90°s Thursday afternoon.  The day will start out sunny.  Expect skies to turn partly cloudy for the afternoon.  Highs will be near Wednesday levels – in the lower to middle 90°s.

90’s Adding Up

Today will be the 43rd day this year Lincoln has reached 90°.  That is quite higher than the 30-year average year-to-date – 29 days.  So much so, this is the highest number of days reaching 90° (YTD) in 10 years.  It also ties for 15th most since 1887.

PATTERN CHANGE

It continues to look like a pattern change is coming next week.  Instead of daily high temperatures in the 90°s, we are looking for highs to be in the middle 80°s.  A refreshing change from the last two months.

Of interest… This will be the first time Lincoln has experienced five consecutive days with highs in the 80°s since June 6-10.
