Hastings, NE – Nebraska is experiencing a dramatic weather shift, with temperatures rebounding into the 50s just a day after blizzard conditions and high winds gripped the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Hastings, strong northwest winds of up to 35 mph are expected tonight, bringing patchy blowing snow as overnight lows dip into the teens and 20s. However, by Thursday, conditions will improve significantly, with sunshine pushing highs into the 40s and 50s.
Friday will continue the warming trend, with mostly sunny skies and highs climbing into the upper 50s. Winds will shift to the northwest at 15 to 25 mph, gusting up to 35 mph. By Saturday, temperatures will reach the upper 50s to mid-60s under partly cloudy skies, with a slight chance of rain overnight into Sunday morning.
