If we can make it through this week of up and down temperatures and only one or two pleasant days, April could be much more pleasant.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates the outlooks are trending for a warm and wet month.

An above-normal precipitation signal can be somewhat misleading. Shimon explains in April you start to see an uptick in severe weather and so you may get an inch or more of rain from one system that rolls through.

The above-normal temperature trend will continue through the summer months. We'll hear more on that later this week on Regional Radio.
