Hastings, NE – A bright, warm Wednesday is on tap for central Nebraska, but afternoon wind gusts could make it feel more intense for outdoor plans. High temperatures are expected to reach 87°F under full sun, with south winds picking up to 10 mph and gusts near 20 mph.
According to the National Weather Service, the wind will gradually increase through the day, especially in open areas across Adams County. While the sunshine offers a perfect backdrop for late-summer activities, those setting up outdoor events or working on construction projects should secure lightweight materials and tents. Drivers of high-profile vehicles may notice stronger crosswinds on east-west highways.
This sunny stretch is part of a warming trend lasting into the weekend, with Thursday climbing into the low 90s and Friday nearing 97°F. While no storms are expected until Saturday night, rising heat will become the primary concern for those spending extended time outside.
Conditions remain dry through midweek, but residents should check for updates as storm chances return over the weekend.
