Weather Story

Easter Forecast

Today will not only be the warmest day of the week, but also the warmest day of the year thus far for most areas. High temperatures this afternoon with full sunshine and a southerly breeze are expected to climb into the lower to middle 80s. Cloud cover will increase across Nebraska along and behind a cold front on Easter Sunday. Areas southeast of the Tri-Cities over far southern Nebraska and north central Kansas could still see 80s for highs on Easter. However, temperatures northwest of the Tri-Cities will be at least somewhat cooler generally in the upper 60s and 70s on Sunday and could begin falling by mid to late afternoon behind the cold front. There will be a chance for showers and thunderstorms Sunday evening into Sunday night, but otherwise the rest of the weekend is expected to remain dry.
