KLKN-TV March 9, 2021 7:41 pm A warm front is draped across central Nebraska Tuesday evening.  Ahead of the front – on the warm side – temperatures are much above normal.  Highs made it in to the middle and upper 70°s. The warm side of the system will provide an environment conducive to produce showers later Tuesday night (near midnight and after), mainly in the eastern third of the state. There may be enough elevated instability to allow for a few embedded thunderstorms, especially for ...

KLKN-TV March 6, 2021 6:47 pm The streak of fantastic continues.  Temperatures Saturday afternoon topped out in the lower 70°s throughout southeast Nebraska – reaching 71° in Lincoln.  That is Lincoln’s second 70° day of 2021 which is the highest through March 6 in three years. Temperatures are going higher Sunday – topping out in the middle 70°s – but along with that will be higher winds.  Winds will begin to gust 20-30 mph by late morning, and gust 30-40 mph during the afternoo...

KLKN-TV February 13, 2021 7:30 pm The coldest air of the Arctic Blast is ahead for southeast Nebraska.  Much of the area could spend several days below zero – air temperature not wind chill – and wind chill values could drop to as low as -35° to -40° for the beginning of the work week. Immediately ahead is a cold Valentine’s Day.  Temperatures will likely not make it back to 0°.  This will be the first time Lincoln has failed to reach 0° in 25 years.  This also looks to be the col...

KLKN-TV February 4, 2021 6:58 pm It is going to look and feel much more like winter starting this weekend (if it hasn’t already).  Temperatures will be plummeting and snow will be falling thanks to a series of clippers coming to the Cornhusker state. The first shot of snow is coming Saturday.  Upper-level energy is moving towards the western Canadian coast, out of the Gulf of Alaska. The upper-level energy will quickly move ashore and dive southeast towards the Plains.  Snow will begin fal...

The Storm Alert Team is tracking a major winter storm poised to potentially drop record snowfall in the area Monday.

All arterial, bus and school routes have been treated ahead of Monday’s winter storm system, according to Lincoln Transportation and Utilities.

KLKN-TV January 20, 2021 8:35 pm What a Wednesday around southeast Nebraska!  100% sunshine and temperatures topping out 20° above normal.  Lincoln reached 54° and will go in the books as the second warmest Inauguration Day in the modern era.  Today also marked the 17th consecutive day with above normal temperatures in the capital city. A cold front will pass through the region Thursday allowing for cooler temperatures in the Channel 8 viewing area. While it will be cooler, temperatures wi...

Today is the 16th consecutive day above average (temperature) in the Nebraska state capital city and it looks like we will add a few more days to the streak. Wednesday looks to be the warmest modern day Inauguration Day since Bill Clinton took the oath for his second term.  Back on January 20, 1997 it reached 63° in Lincoln.  For...

KLKN-TV January 15, 2021 3:00 am High winds have been blasting southeast Nebraska since just after midnight Thursday.  Peak wind gusts in the Channel 8 viewing area have reached near 70 mph.  We could make a run at surpassing that number Friday. Several computer models bracket the hours between 10am and Noon Friday for the the highest wind gusts from this two day period.  Winds gusts 60-70 mph look possible, especially towards York, Grand Island, and Hastings. It does appear that winds will ...
