Hastings, NE – Nebraska residents are enjoying unseasonably warm weather this weekend, with highs reaching the low-to-mid 60s today and Sunday. However, a dramatic temperature drop is expected Monday, bringing gusty winds up to 30 mph and setting the stage for a colder, more seasonable week ahead.
According to the National Weather Service in Hastings, Saturday’s highs are 20-25 degrees above average, with sunny skies and mild southwest winds. Sunday will also see highs near 59 degrees before temperatures begin to fall late that night. The cooling trend begins in earnest Monday when a cold front moves through, pushing temperatures into the mid-40s and bringing strong northwest winds.
By Tuesday, highs will struggle to reach 39 degrees, with overnight lows dipping into the teens. Wednesday offers little relief, with daytime temperatures barely surpassing the mid-30s. Dry conditions will persist through midweek, but forecasters caution that snow chances may develop late Thursday or Friday as another system approaches the region.
Drivers should prepare for possible reduced visibility from wind gusts on Monday, especially along open roads like U.S. Highway 6. Anyone planning outdoor activities should dress in layers to handle the rapid temperature changes.
Stay updated on potential snow impacts by checking forecasts regularly. While no precipitation is expected until later next week, early preparation is key.
