Though temperatures are running quite mild Friday morning (still 65 in Lincoln as I'm writing this), clouds are moving out with a northerly breeze developing for the day. Should be a pretty great Friday.
Above average temperatures for October will continue through the weekend.

Not nearly as chilly as yesterday in the morning... in fact, most in eastern Nebraska are waking up to temperatures 15-20° warmer, thanks to some overnight clouds!

Our coldest fall morning was a month ago, back on September 6 when temperatures in Lincoln fell to 43°.
Tomorrow morning's forecast looks just a bit colder, making it what could be the coldest morning since May 4 if we do drop to 42°. Possible patchy fog, too.

We're slow to warm up this week, meaning these cooler fall temperatures will last a little longer.
Afternoon highs across Nebraska in the 60s will be pleasant for fall lovers today.

Tonight is the first of FOUR consecutive supermoons to end 2025 and start 2026 (October, November, December and January). Rare and cool!
A supermoon happens when the full moon is very close to Earth. The moon looks bigger and ~30% brighter than normal as it's near the horizon.

Heads up to a couple cooler overnights into Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (October 7 and 8, 2025).
The latter may cause patchy frost to form in some areas attempting to cool closer to 40° early Wednesday (winds less than 8 mph, maybe enough moisture in the air?).

8AM Monday: More rain is about to pick up here in Lincoln, with an occasional rumble of thunder possible. Soggy mid-morning hours before rain becomes more intermittent this afternoon.
Rain gear not a bad idea for the rain protection but also another layer with the cooler temps!

Saturday plans or gearing up for game day as a fan: it will be quite windy. Southerly wind gusts up around 35-45 mph are likely for much of Saturday afternoon and evening.

Friday's forecast is HOT. So glad this October heat comes without the humidity, unlike these temperatures that are more typical in late July.
