# Weather Forecast for Central and Eastern Nebraska: A Detailed Outlook
As we venture into 2024, Central and Eastern Nebraska find themselves blanketed by a persistent cloud cover and fog, creating an overcast sky that extends across a significant portion of the region. However, a notable change is on the horizon, promising to bring relief from the gray skies. In contrast, the western region of Nebraska is experiencing a welcome sight—clear skies and the warmth of the sun. This cloud-clear boundary line will gradually advance eastward, reaching near Highway 183. Areas along this transition zone will witness a noticeable temperature difference, with highs climbing into the 40s and potentially reaching near 50° Fahrenheit in Southwest Nebraska. Conversely, regions that remain under the cloud cover will endure cooler temperatures, primarily in the 30s.
Tonight’s Forecast: Return of Clouds and Potential Freezing Fog
As night descends upon Central and Eastern Nebraska, the low clouds and fog will expand their reach, once again covering most of the Local4 viewing area. Residents should be prepared for patchy areas of freezing fog and freezing drizzle, presenting potential hazards to visibility and travel conditions. Temperatures during this period will predominantly hover in the 20s, further emphasizing the need for caution and warm clothing.
Tomorrow’s Forecast: Lingering Clouds and Limited Sunshine
Tomorrow’s weather pattern will continue to be dominated by clouds and fog, with only a glimpse of sunshine expected in the western region. This cloud cover will result in relatively low temperatures, with much of the area experiencing highs in the low to mid 30s. However, the western regions may see slightly warmer temperatures, reaching the low to mid 40s.
Friday Night and Saturday Morning: Gradual Clearing and Potential Fog
Friday night will usher in a gradual shift, with the cloud-clear boundary line slowly pushing eastward. By Saturday morning, this line will have reached Central Nebraska, marking the beginning of more widespread sunshine. However, residents should be mindful of the back edge of the clouds, where thicker fog may form. Temperatures during this period will remain in the 20s, emphasizing the need for warm clothing and cautious driving conditions.
Saturday: Sunshine Returns, Bringing Warmer Temperatures
Saturday will mark a turning point in the weather pattern, as the low clouds continue to clear out from west to east, revealing long-awaited sunshine. This transition will bring a welcome change in temperatures, with highs ranging from the low to mid 30s in eastern areas to around 50° Fahrenheit in the southwest.
Sunday: Abundant Sunshine and Milder Temperatures

Central regions can expect temperatures mostly in the 40s, while western areas will likely reach the low to mid 50s.
Early and Middle of Next Week: Continued Sunshine and Milder Weather
The trend of mostly sunny skies will persist into the early and middle part of next week. Additionally, milder temperatures will continue to spread eastward, enveloping more areas in their warmth.
