Forecast for Central and Eastern Nebraska

WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2013

One more day of cool, cloudy and breezy conditions expected for most of 10-11 Country today. The lethargic upper-level low responsible for our cool conditions will continue to drift east over the next 24 hours...finally exiting our area by Wednesday night. Look for highs on Wednesday to struggle into the low to mid 60s once again...with some areas stuck in the upper 50s in the afternoon...the average high right now is about 75 degrees. Thursday looks to be a more pleasant day...with some sunshine and readings warming into the upper 60s to mid 70s. Shower and thunderstorm chances will increase by Friday afternoon and continue off-and-on through the Memorial Day holiday weekend. We are not expecting a complete washout during the period...but thunderstorm episodes are likely...and as always this time of year...some strong-to-severe 'storms will be possible. Please check the forecasts as the weekend draws closer.
