Lincoln, NE — A silvery fog blankets south-central Nebraska this morning, softening headlights and drifting low across open fields. The National Weather Service in Hastings warns of patchy fog with visibility dropping below a mile in spots, especially along I-80 and Route 281. Drivers heading out early should slow down and use low beams until conditions lift.
Beyond the fog, mild November weather continues through the weekend. Sunshine breaks through later today with highs climbing into the lower 60s — well above seasonal averages. It’s a comfortable stretch for last-minute yard work, travel prep, or outdoor decorating before a cooler system approaches.
Sunday brings increasing clouds as winds shift southwest, signaling a pattern change. By Sunday night, rain becomes likely across south-central Nebraska and northern Kansas, with a 60% chance of showers spreading north through early Monday. Light rainfall is expected, but the timing could create slick roads for early Thanksgiving travel.
Tuesday turns cooler and mostly sunny, offering a brief break before a more significant cold front sweeps across the nation midweek — potentially bringing snow and travel delays farther north and east by Thanksgiving Day.
Five-Day Outlook (Hastings, NE):
- Today: Patchy fog, then sunny. High 62°F.
- Sunday: Clouds increasing, high 58°F.
- Monday: Rain likely, high 54°F.
