LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Next seven days look to bring warmer weather for most of the state, with multiple chances for 80s from Friday into Monday. Might be a good time to buy and apply some sunscreen if you are going to be out and about the next couple of days! Chances for rain and storms are still possible, but are low at the moment where the highest chance is 40%.

Taking a look at lows for Thursday, should remain mostly mild with upper 40s to mid 50s or the eastern half and mid to low 40s for western Nebraska.

Rest of Nebraska will see the same highs for Thursday, but some places could reach the 80s, most likely in the western half of the state.

Skycast is showing chances for lingering showers for eastern Nebraska in the evening, with the second round of storms breaking up as it makes its way into the metro areas. Thursday should bring a mostly clear and calm day for most of the state with chances for clouds in some places.

By the way we have seen rain come in, the next three days look to be a dry spell, but quickly changes as chances of rain move in over the weekend into Wednesday. All days look to be in-between 20%-40% for rain.

Friday lows are going to be warmer for most of Nebraska, with widespread 50s.

Temperatures really start to heat up Nebraska on Friday, as highs could reach into the 90s for places in western Nebraska, but will mainly be in the 80s for the state.

Highs will scale back for most of the state on Saturday. Eastern Nebraska can still expect upper 70s to mid 80s. Sandhills and panhandle could see low to mid 70s.
