Hastings, NE – It will feel like fall across south-central Nebraska through midweek before a noticeable warm-up arrives later this week, according to the National Weather Service in Hastings.
Forecasters said Tuesday and Wednesday will feature highs in the 60s and overnight lows in the 40s to low 50s, providing classic autumn conditions. Skies are expected to stay mostly sunny to partly cloudy with no significant rain chances.
According to the National Weather Service update issued at 4:58 a.m. Tuesday, October 7, temperatures will climb sharply by Thursday, reaching the upper 70s to low 80s. By Friday, highs could push into the mid-80s, marking an unseasonably warm stretch for early October.
Meteorologists said the region should stay dry throughout the week as rain chances remain low. The mild and dry weather will offer ideal conditions for harvest activity, outdoor work, and local events.
Residents can expect the cooler fall air to return next week as another cold front approaches, though details on timing remain uncertain.
