Light Rain for Lincoln
Air Quality (as of 7:30AM):
Good for all reporting stations.
Weather Story: A disorganized weather system will impact the area into the day. A moist air mass was forced ashore overnight keeping the drizzle machine going. It will be followed by a weak cold front in the afternoon, which will bring additional drizzle to light rain. High pressure will then build in, (slightly) warming us and drying us through mid-week. A weak weather system will clip our area late in the week--looking like Friday/Saturday at the moment--bringing a chance of light rain.
President’s Day (Monday): Mostly cloudy early with patchy drizzle to light rain, especially near the coast and in the hills. Just a touch warmer with highs in the 50s to low 60s. Breezy late in the day.
Overnight: Partly cloudy and slightly cooler. Lows mainly in the 40s.
Tuesday: Becoming mostly sunny. A bit cooler with highs in the 50s to around 60ºF.
Extended: Wednesday morning will be chilly but Wed/Thu afternoons will be slightly warmer. A two-barreled weather system will roll through Friday/Saturday and could bring some light rain to the region.
