Fall Outlooks Hard to Predict Due to Developing El Nino

El Nino is giving fall forecasters a difficult time pinning down what the next several months may look like.

 

We're going to usher in September on a warmer note but according to Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln, the remainder of the fall looks to be up in the air at this point.

 

 

Shimon explains when we get to this time of the year, the remnants of tropical storms in the Gulf can sweep up into the midwest giving us a sudden soaking of rain.

 

 

Shimon anticipates a warmer and drier winter thanks to the developing El Nino signal. He explains while will trend drier, when precipitation does come our way, it could very well come in the form of ice.

 

 

Temperatures will hover around 90 degrees throughout the holiday weekend but then the signals fall off to equal chances of above or below-normal temperatures and precipitation for the rest of the first part of September.
