Temperatures climbing going in to holiday weekend

We are moving in to a relatively “normal” pattern for the rest of the week and going in to next week.  Temperatures will be near, if not a few degrees above normal, and it should remain relatively dry.

Skies will be partly cloudy Wednesday night.  Low temperatures drop to the lower to middle 60°s.

While high pressure will be moving in to the Midwest over the next several days, keeping surface winds out of the northeast/east, temperatures will not be cooling too much.  Mostly sunny skies (high veil of clouds) are expected Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will be near normal (88° in Lincoln) with highs around 88°.

Things start to warm-up this weekend, just in time for the 4th of July.  Highs will be around 90° each of the days during the three-day holiday weekend.  Skies should remain mainly sunny Saturday and Sunday – a few more clouds developing Monday.
