We will see a lot of rain this weekend and even some severe weather but once that moves off, we're in store for more spring-like weather next week. 

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates next week will be a very pleasant week.

The above-normal temperature signal remains strong as we get into May and Shimon anticipates some very nice weather days in the month ahead.

In addition to some pleasant days in May, Shimon is predicting a very pleasant summer as we continue to see an above-normal temperature signal carry us all the way to next winter.
