Autumn Chill, Then Heat Returns | Lincoln News

A surprise autumn chill hit Tuesday, with temps plummeting 15-40 degrees cooler than Monday—feeling more like fall than August. But don’t get comfy: thunderstorms are rolling in Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, bringing rain (half to 1 inch, up to 2 inches near Omaha to Nebraska City and SW Iowa), possible hail or gusty winds, and a soggy commute. Clouds and wildfire smoke linger through Wednesday, keeping highs in the mid-70s and lows in the upper 40s. Thursday kicks off the transition—with possible morning fog but warming into the low-to-mid 80s. The real heat returns this weekend, with highs in the low-to-mid 90s and heat indexes soaring to 105—perfect for last-minute pool days before school starts. Stay hydrated.
