Nebraska Weather 3/9 Morning - 25° Above Normal

Good morning. Nebraska. I'm Michael Mosby. Step outside and you'll feel like someone cranked the calendar forward two months. We're talking 70s statewide today — the kind of warmth that makes you question if winter ever happened. Eastern Nebraska hits 75 degrees. That's 25 degrees above normal for early March. Southeast Nebraska pushes to 78. Western Nebraska? You top out near 79, flirting with the 1989 record of 80. But here's the catch. That heat comes with bone-dry air and west winds gusting to 25 miles an hour. Red Flag Warnings blanket much of western Nebraska through 8 P.M. Any spark becomes a wildfire today. No burning. Period. Tonight's when things get wild. A cold front crashes south late this evening. And temperatures nosedive. Eastern Nebraska falls to 43 overnight. Southeast drops to 44. But western Nebraska? You plunge from 79 this afternoon to 30 by Tuesday morning. That's a 49-degree crash in less than 12 hours. Your thermostat might file a complaint. Tuesday stays cooler — highs in the 50s and 60s. Clouds build. And by Tuesday night, rain arrives. Northern areas could see a mix of rain and snow after midnight. Accumulations stay light where snow sticks. Wednesday brings partly sunny skies and low 50s, but winds stay gusty and humidity drops again. Fire concerns return. Thursday? We're back to the 70s with extreme fire danger. Strong west winds and near-record heat make for a dangerous combination. Enjoy today's warmth, but stay alert. If you're outdoors, keep an eye on conditions. See you this afternoon.

Nebraska Weather 3/8 Midday - 30° Above Normal

Good afternoon. Nebraska. I'm Matt Mullins. Step outside right now and you'll think you time-traveled straight to May. We're sitting at 57 degrees. And that's just the warm-up act. Sunshine floods the entire state today with temperatures soaring 20 to 30 degrees above normal. Eastern Nebraska hits 72 by late afternoon. Southeast Nebraska pushes even warmer to 74. Out west you'll reach 71, but the wind picks up there — gusts to 30 miles an hour. Southwest winds gust to 22 statewide. Tonight stays mild under clear skies. Lows only drop to the mid-30s out west and mid-40s east. Some spots actually warm up overnight as those southwest winds keep pumping. Monday cranks the heat even higher. Highs climb to 75 in the east, 77 in the southeast and west. Light winds early turn breezy by afternoon. But here's the catch — fire weather concerns escalate across western Nebraska. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect. Near-record heat, low humidity. And gusty winds create dangerous conditions for any fire starts. Tuesday brings a sharp cooldown as a cold front sweeps through. Highs tumble to the mid-60s with increasing clouds. Rain arrives Tuesday night, especially across northern Nebraska and the Sandhills. Some areas could see a rain-snow mix overnight into Wednesday morning. Wednesday turns blustery and cooler with highs only in the 50s. Another warmup Thursday pushes temperatures back into the upper 60s to low 70s, but that brings renewed fire weather concerns. Friday cools back to the 50s with partly sunny skies. One more thing — clocks spring forward one hour tonight. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight today, with the spring equinox just 12 days away. See you this evening.

Nebraska Weather 3/8 Morning - 30° Above Normal

Good morning. Nebraska. I'm Michael Nally. Spring just kicked down the door. We're talking 20 to 30 degrees above normal today, folks. That's not a gentle warm-up — that's a full-blown heat surge. Eastern Nebraska wakes up around 40 degrees and rockets to 72 by afternoon. Southeast Nebraska? You're pushing 74 under wall-to-wall sunshine. Out west, you start at 30 but still climb to 71. That's a 40-degree swing before dinner. But here's where it gets serious. Southwest winds gusting to 30 miles an hour are creating dangerous fire conditions. Humidity drops to the teens, our snowpack is gone. And any spark could spread fast. If you're outdoors today, stay alert. Tonight stays mild. Lows hold in the low to mid-40s east, upper 30s west. Those breezy winds keep temperatures from dropping much at all. Monday cranks the heat even higher — mid to upper 70s statewide, possibly flirting with 80 in spots. Western Nebraska faces a Fire Weather Watch with gusts up to 45 miles an hour. This is critical fire danger, folks. Tuesday brings a cold front and a sharp cooldown. Highs crash into the 50s and 60s with rain likely Tuesday night, especially across the Sandhills and northern Nebraska. Some areas could see a rain-snow mix overnight. Wednesday clears out but stays blustery and cooler, highs in the upper 40s. Then Thursday? We're back to the 60s and low 70s with another round of dangerous fire weather. Friday and the weekend settle into the 50s with partly cloudy skies. Spring equinox is just 12 days away. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight each day now. See you this afternoon.

Nebraska Weather 3/7 Evening - Frost to Flip-Flops

Good evening. Nebraska. I'm Michael Nally. That crisp 32-degree wake-up call this morning? Just a teaser. We're talking about a massive 40-degree temperature swing today—yes, you heard that right—with some spots climbing from near-freezing at dawn to a balmy 70 degrees by afternoon. Here's the breakdown: Out west, you’re starting at a chilly 29 degrees this morning, but don't let that fool you. By this afternoon. Scottsbluff and the Panhandle will be basking in 70 degrees under sunny skies. Winds kick up from the west at 10 to 15 miles an hour, gusting to 25—so hold onto your hats. Tonight brings a quick cooldown back to the mid-30s, but still mild for early March. Head east. And the story’s similar with a twist. Omaha and Lincoln wake up to 36 degrees, but by 5 P.M., you’re hitting 72 degrees—that's 25 degrees above normal for this time of year. Southwest winds at 10 to 14 miles an hour will keep things breezy. And overnight, temps stay unusually warm, only dipping to the mid-40s. That’s right—no jacket needed for your evening plans. Southeast Nebraska? You’re the warm spot today, with highs pushing 76 degrees in places like Falls City and Nebraska City. That’s nearly 20 degrees above average—soak it up, because this kind of March warmth doesn’t come around often. Winds stay steady from the southwest. And like the rest of the state, you’ll stay dry through tomorrow. In Twist, this warmth is borrowed time. A cold front sweeps in Tuesday, dropping highs back to the 50s and bringing a chance of light rain or even snow—yes, snow—especially up in the Sandhills. But don't panic; accumulations look minimal. By Thursday, we rebound into the 60s and 70s again, so it’s a quick dip, not a deep freeze. Looking ahead: Sunday brings statewide sunshine and highs in the low 70s. Fire weather concerns pop up with gusty winds and low humidity—so be mindful if you’re burning anything. Monday gets even warmer, with mid-70s possible in the southeast. Then Tuesday and Wednesday, that cold front arrives, knocking temps down to the upper 40s and 50s, with a slight chance of rain or snow. Nothing major, just a reminder that March in Nebraska is a mood swing waiting to happen. Thursday and Friday bounce right back to the 60s and 70s, because why not? The big picture? We’re gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight each day. And the spring equinox is just 13 days away. But today? It’s all about that unseasonable warmth—so get outside and enjoy it. See you tomorrow.

Nebraska Weather 3/7 Morning - Sunshine Shiver Shock

Good morning. Nebraska. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside this morning and you'll feel that classic early March chill. But don't let it fool you. Today's just the calm before a *wild* temperature swing. **Eastern Nebraska** wakes up to 35 degrees but climbs to a crisp 52 by afternoon. Winds out of the west-northwest at 6 to 12 miles an hour will make it feel cooler than it looks. Tonight? Mostly clear skies with lows dipping to 38—then *rising* overnight as warm air starts pushing in. **Southeast Nebraska** follows a similar script—53 degrees today, then a jump to 69 on Sunday. That's running 25 degrees above normal, folks. But watch out late Tuesday when a cold front swings through, bringing rain changing to snow. We're talking potential slick spots by Wednesday morning. **Western Nebraska** starts colder at 28 this morning but still reaches 55 today. The real drama comes Sunday with highs near 69—*20 degrees above normal*—and gusty west winds up to 25 miles an hour. Fire weather concerns will be elevated with humidity dropping below 20 percent. In Here's big picture, this weekend's quiet weather is just the setup. By Monday. Here comes highs in the *70s*—yes, 70s—in early March. But Tuesday's cold front reminds us winter isn't done yet, with rain and snow chances and a sharp cooldown. Wednesday morning could see lows in the 20s out west, with lingering snow showers. In Sunrise was at 6, 50 this morning. And we're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight each day now. The spring equinox is just 13 days away, but Nebraska's weather clearly didn't get the memo—we're getting a summer preview *and* winter reminders in the same forecast. If you're planning any outdoor projects. Sunday is your golden window. Just keep that fire safety in mind out west. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.

Areas from Red Cloud to Fremont to the Iowa border face the highest risk. Keep your weather radio handy. Tonight, the temperature crash hits statewide. Eastern Nebraska drops to 33 degrees.

Nebraska Weather March 3 Evening - Rain

Good evening. Nebraska. I'm Aaron Jolly. Look up right now. That gray ceiling? It's not going anywhere tonight. There's an upper level disturbance spinning over Colorado, dragging moisture across the state but keeping things just dry enough at the surface to tease us. Sprinkles that evaporate before they ever touch the ground. The atmosphere is basically dangling rain over our heads. Then snatching it back. In the next 24 hours. We're sitting at 42 degrees right now. And honestly, we've barely moved all day. That's what happens when low pressure parks itself overhead like it owns the place. How tonight plays out depends on where you're. Eastern Nebraska stays locked under clouds with lows near 38 degrees. A slight chance of drizzle sneaks in after 5 A.M. Nothing dramatic, just enough to spot your windshield. Slide southeast and patchy fog rolls in toward morning. Lows drop to 36 degrees. If you're commuting Wednesday, give that fog time to burn off before 10 A.M. Once it does, you'll see 56 degrees. Still gray, but warmer. Out west is where it gets interesting. Tonight dips to 30 degrees with wind chills around 25 near sunrise. But Wednesday? Mostly sunny and 65 degrees. That's a 35 degrees swing in one day. Only in Nebraska does your morning jacket become your afternoon regret. Looking ahead. Thursday cranks the dial to near 70 degrees. Enjoy every second of it. Because Thursday night a strong storm system rolls in. Rain, thunderstorms. And some could turn severe across eastern Nebraska. Friday that mess clears out, leaving behind a cool, sunny weekend to reset. One more thing. Tonight's full moon is up there somewhere behind those clouds.

The only break in the gloom? That Full Moon lighting up the clouds tonight. In the next 24 hours. Here's the reality across the state. Western Nebraska is dealing with a biting start.

High Wind Watch | Nebraska Weather

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Nebraska Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th. Step outside right now and that 24 degrees bites at your face. But here's the thing.. Winter's about to take a nap. Eastern Nebraska wakes up at 19 degrees, but by 3 P.M., you're hitting 48. That's a 29-degree climb in one afternoon. Winds flip from south-southwest to west around 10 A.M.. And that morning chill? Gone. Tonight stays mild at 26 before bouncing back to 28 overnight. Wednesday brings a curveball — rain and snow possible after noon, highs near 47. Then Thursday flips the script again: sunny and 56. Friday? A spring-like 67. Southeast Nebraska gets even luckier. You'll wake up to 29 degrees around 7 A.M., but by 3 P.M., it's 55 degrees. That's late April weather in late February. Steady south-southwest winds at 8 miles an hour keep things comfortable. Tonight drops to just 26, then rebounds fast. Wednesday hits 54 with a 30 percent chance of afternoon rain. Then the warmth builds: 60 on Thursday. And a downright balmy 69 on Friday. Western Nebraska steals the show today. You're hitting 58 by 2 P.M. — that's 15 degrees above normal. But here's the catch: a High Wind Warning kicks in Wednesday morning for Banner and Kimball Counties. Gusts up to 60 miles an hour. That's enough to rock your vehicle and snap branches. Wednesday's high of 68 comes with rain showers, but Thursday clears to sunny and 61. Friday peaks at 65 before the weekend cooldown arrives. Here's your week ahead. Today and tomorrow, we're riding unseasonable warmth — 50s and 60s. Saturday, an Arctic front sweeps in, dropping highs back to the 30s and 40s. Sunday and Monday bring a slight chance of snow, especially east, but nothing major. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. Winter's not done with us yet. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Feels Like 9 Degrees | Nebraska Weather

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Nebraska Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. Right now, the entire state is sitting at 6 degrees. But here's where it gets wild. By this afternoon, Scottsbluff will be lounging at 45 degrees while Omaha barely scrapes 26. That's an 18-degree split across one state at the exact same time. Eastern Nebraska, you're stuck in winter's grip this morning. Wind chills near zero around 7 A.M., with your low bottoming out right at zero. The cold air is clinging to that lingering snowpack like it's got nowhere else to go. But you'll climb to 25 degrees by 5 P.M. Winds shift from north to east around 9 A.M. At 1 P.M., you'll feel 9 degrees even though the thermometer reads 17. Southeast Nebraska, you're just slightly warmer. Low of 2 degrees around 7 A.M., then up to 34 by 5 P.M. Steady north winds at 6 miles an hour. At noon, it'll feel like 12 when it's actually 20. Western Nebraska, you're the winner today. Low of 9 around 5 A.M., then you rocket to 45 by 5 P.M. Winds flip from south-southwest to west-southwest by 11 P.M., gusting to 15 miles an hour. At 8 A.M., it'll feel like minus 4 when it's actually 10 degrees. But here's the real story. Tuesday, everyone jumps 20 degrees. Omaha and Lincoln both hit 57. Scottsbluff reaches 58. Wednesday brings a light rain-snow mix north of I-80, then we absolutely soar to near 70 degrees Friday in the southwest. Saturday cools back to the 40s, with a slight chance of snow Sunday. This morning. Tomorrow's warmth is worth the wait. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Steady breezes out of the north hold Omaha to 24 degrees by 5 P.M. Out west, lighter winds and full sun push North Platte to 34 by mid-afternoon. Tonight, the cold wins everywhere. Lincoln drops to 2 degrees by 5 A.M. Monday. Scottsbluff holds at 10. Now here's where it gets wild. Tuesday brings a shocking turnaround — 64 degrees in North Platte, 56 in Lincoln. That's 46 degrees warmer than today in some spots. Wednesday tosses in a slight chance of rain, maybe even snow up north, with highs easing back to the 50s. But Friday? We're flirting with 68 degrees in Southeast Nebraska. Spring-like warmth before a weekend cooldown. This isn't just warm air — it's a full pattern shift.

Nebraska Weather: 02-21-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Nebraska Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, Nebraska woke up mean today. Step outside and you'll feel single digit wind chills gnawing at every inch of exposed skin. This is the kind of cold where your nose hairs freeze on the first breath. Here's the deal. Eastern and southeast Nebraska sit at 14 degrees right now. Light north winds around 2 to 3 miles an hour barely register. A stray flurry might drift through, but don't count on anything sticking. Tonight those lows crash to near zero. Sunday brings a slow crawl back toward 20 degrees. Still brutal. Now drive west and it gets worse. Western Nebraska checks in at 13 degrees with dead calm winds. No snow, no breeze. Just still, bitter air sitting on you like a weight. Tonight dips to minus 2. Sunday maybe hits 18 degrees. Maybe. Air quality is moderate today. Not awful, but not great for long stretches outside. Sunrise came at 6:32 this morning. Sunset hits at 5:20. That gives us just under 11 hours of daylight. And here's your silver lining. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of light every single day. The sun is fighting back even if the thermometer hasn't gotten the memo. Here's what's coming your way this week. Monday eases the grip slightly with highs inching into the 20s. Don't celebrate yet. Another cold shot rolls in midweek and keeps us below normal. No major storms on the horizon. Just winter being stubborn and refusing to loosen up. Think of it as February's last stand before March starts knocking. Bundle up if you're heading out. Frostbite can set in under 30 minutes in this cold. Layer everything. Protect that skin. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. We're all in this freeze together. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there, folks!

Nebraska Weather: 02-20-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Nebraska Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd. Folks, Nebraska woke up quiet this morning. Almost suspiciously quiet. Cold, calm, clear skies. The kind of morning where your breath hangs in the air like a little ghost. Here's the deal. Eastern Nebraska starts at 24 degrees with barely a whisper of wind. Three miles an hour out of the northwest. You won't even feel it. Skies stay wide open all day, letting temperatures climb into the upper 30s by afternoon. Tonight you're back down to the low 20s under a blanket of stars. Now head west and things get interesting. Western Nebraska's actually a touch warmer this morning at 27 degrees. But there's a plot twist. A slight chance of light snow showers sneaks in later today. Nothing to cancel plans over. Just enough to dust the ground like powdered sugar on a donut. Temperatures hover in the mid 30s, then lows drop to the upper teens overnight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday is the gem. Sunshine statewide, highs pushing 40 degrees. Perfect for getting outside. Sunday stays dry and mild with mid 40s across the board. Then Monday, a weak system slides through bringing a chance of light rain or snow. Nothing dramatic. Just winter reminding you it still has your number. Temperatures hold steady in the 40s through midweek. One more thing. Sunrise at 6:33 this morning, sunset at 5:18. We're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring is creeping closer whether winter likes it or not. So. If this forecast helped you plan your Friday, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
