Another nice day; Heating up over the weekend

You could not ask for better weather to close out the month of August. Skies will be mostly sunny, and temperatures will be seasonable. We’re forecasting a high temperature in the middle-80s near Lincoln. However, a few areas to the west may make a run for the 90s. It will also be a touch on the breezy side, with a south-southeast wind anywhere from 12-22 mph during the day. The breeze will likely contribute to the dispersal of wildfire smoke.
Nice weather, but air quality issues remain

Volleyball Day in Nebraska is right around the corner, and temperatures will be nice for those heading out to Memorial Stadium. We’ll see middle-80s for most of the afternoon. Temperatures fall into the 70s during the evening. Afternoon highs will likely be in the middle to upper-80s across the area. We’re looking at a high near 86° in Lincoln on Wednesday along with a south/southeast breeze. While the weather does not present any problems, Mother Nature is not completely letting us off the hook.
Air quality concerns increasing

We’re looking at another quiet day on Tuesday. Skies will be mostly sunny, and temperatures will be pretty close to normal. We’re forecasting highs in the middle-80s across the area. While the weather won’t give us any trouble, wildfire smoke will create outdoor conditions that are far from ideal. The sky takes on a hazy appearance as early as Tuesday morning. However, it will take a little longer for the smoke to arrive closer to ground level.
Comfortable weather lingers into Monday

Aug 28, 2023 | klkntv.com | Malcolm Byron

While last week featured extreme heat, temperatures remain closer to normal for much of this week. We expect high temperatures in the middle-80s on Monday, and there may be a few spots flirting with the upper-80s. There will be a weak disturbance in the vicinity. As a result, we may see some spotty or widely scattered showers/storms on Monday. The latest guidance suggests perhaps a greater coverage of showers to the west of Lincoln with more spotty rain in the Lincoln area.
The beginning of the end for our heat wave

Aug 25, 2023 | klkntv.com | Malcolm Byron

After a prolonged stretch of heat, we are finally transitioning to a cooler pattern. Temperatures will cool from north to south on Friday as a cold front passes. Even so, it’ll still be a hot day for many. Highs on Friday will back off slightly in Lincoln, with middle to upper-90s possible. Meanwhile, temperatures may inch closer to 100° in our southern communities. It will be a touch cooler farther north.
Only a few more days left with the heat

Aug 24, 2023 | klkntv.com | Malcolm Byron

Thursday will feature more triple-digit heat. We’re forecasting a high temperature near 104° in Lincoln. This is several degrees shy of the record high of 107° (1936). Sunshine will also prevail, with even less cloud cover than we saw on Wednesday. The humidity on Thursday will likely be the lowest we’ve seen this week. From Saturday morning through much of Wednesday, dew points have continuously been above 70°. This is why it has felt so oppressively humid.
