Hastings, NE – Nebraska residents can expect a break from cloudy skies as gradual clearing is forecast today, followed by mild conditions through midweek. Temperatures are expected to climb into the low 50s, providing a welcome reprieve for outdoor plans before rain chances develop later this week.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will bring mostly sunny skies by afternoon with light winds around 5 mph. Overnight temperatures will drop to the low 30s under partly cloudy conditions. Drivers should watch for patchy fog developing early Tuesday morning, particularly near U.S. Highway 6 and surrounding rural roads, as visibility may briefly reduce.
Tuesday promises another day of fair weather with highs in the upper 40s and calm winds, ideal for pre-Christmas travel or last-minute shopping. However, conditions shift heading into Wednesday night, with clouds thickening and rain showers moving into the region by Thursday. Rainfall is expected to intensify overnight into Friday morning, with a 40% chance of showers predicted.
Christmas Day on Wednesday remains mostly cloudy but mild, with highs near 45°F. Travelers should anticipate light winds and dry roads for holiday gatherings, but it’s wise to monitor conditions as precipitation chances grow closer to the weekend.
