Other than a small rain chance on Thursday, the next several days look dry and warm in Lincoln. Rain chances come our way next week, then much cooler temperatures. Fall will return!

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The average high is in the low 70s, so we'll be well above average for several days in Lincoln!

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Perfect football weather for our Game of the Week! This Friday is Norris at Seward. Should be a good one!

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Hard to tell. Most of this moisture came from the remnants of a hurricane, which probably wouldn't happen in the winter. If you do a typical 10:1 ratio, then you'd have some incredible snow numbers, but it just wouldn't ever happen that way.

010

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Here are some of the higher rainfall totals I could find from the September 30th event. Those 8"+ ones in Millard and Elkhorn are impressive!

The chance for rain slowly but surely increases overnight into Wednesday morning for Lincoln.

010

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Southeast and south central Nebraska is now in a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall Wednesday, September 30, 2026. Heavy rain is likely in this area and the Moderate Risk means there is a 40% chance that the heavy rainfall leads to flash flooding.

020

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

FLOOD WATCH: Tue - Thu, Sept 29 - Oct 1, 2026 Waves of rain are likely starting Tuesday and then on and off into Thursday. It won't rain the entire time, but soaking rains are possible when it does rain. A 1/2 inch to 1" are possible with each wave and we'll see multiple waves.

010

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It will be the remnants, yes.

020

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It's likely we'll see excessive rain Tuesday night into Wednesday, lingering into Thursday. 2-4" of rain is possible in the yellow shaded area. A few spots might see 5" by the time it's all said and done.

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Light rain across parts of Nebraska as of 914pm Saturday, Sept 25th. The heavier rain is moving through Kansas headed for south central and southeast Nebraska. More soaking rains and t-storms likely overnight!

010

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

If you're headed to the Crete vs Beatrice game tonight, it'll be a little cool with showers possible. The rain chance increases as the night wears on!

000

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

More clouds and rain means another cooler than average day for Friday. Feels like the middle of fall!

030

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Good rain chances the next couple of days.

031

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Several rain chances in the next 10 days, but the temperatures have that fall feel we'll all wish we had more of when winter finally gets here!

030

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

The first day of fall will feel more like mid October!

020

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

The HuskerCast has a small chance for storms Saturday with temperatures MUCH cooler than they were on Friday!

020

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

545pm Friday: Storms have popped along a cold front and are moving northeast after they form. The front will move southeast, so additional storms further southeast are likely. If you have outdoor plans, have a plan to get indoors if you hear thunder! Severe threat is small.

020

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

One more hot day, then we get back to fall-like weather. It's still summer, after all!

040

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

A cold front sweeps across the area on Friday, running into warm and muggy air. Strong to severe storms are possible!

010

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Storms possible on and off into early next week. And look at that, the first day of fall is on the 7day!

040

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Been that way for years. Unless it's happening to someone directly, they don't care. *shrugs*

120

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

A Tornado Watch is in place for eastern Nebraska, including the cities of Lincoln, Beatrice, and Omaha through midnight. Strong to severe storms will have the potential for tornadoes tonight. Please have a way to be alerted should a severe storm move into your area.

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

10Day Lincoln Forecast: Sept 11-20, 2026 Going from the 80s to the low 70s over the next several days means front after front after front moving through. This will cool us down and gives us a chance for storms each day all the way through the middle of next week.

031

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Forecast for the actual temps and the heat index at the #Huskers game Saturday. Not ideal!

Rusty Dawkins @rustywx.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

No surprise here, but the Heat Advisory has been extended and is now in place through Saturday, September 5th. It has also been expanded a little further west.
