Hastings, NE – Sunny skies will dominate Friday in Hastings, but holiday travelers should prepare for possible snow beginning late this weekend.

However, Thanksgiving week is shaping up to bring colder temperatures and measurable snow for parts of central Nebraska.
According to the National Weather Service in Hastings, the weekend begins mild, with highs reaching 54°F on Saturday. A cold front moving in Sunday increases the chance of snow to 20-40% by Thanksgiving.
