After this past Thursday's winter storm, the second for February, things are going to warm back up.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln says there's a pretty strong signal for warm air this week.

For some time, the National Weather Service has been discussing a warmer and wetter than normal pattern for the spring. Shimon says that is holding true, in fact, it appears to be that way all the way to the early part of the summer.

According to Shimon, a normal high for the end of February can be around 45 degrees with lows in the upper-20s and so temperatures in the 50s in the days ahead should not be a surprise. Additionally, Shimon points out, by the end of March, temperatures in the 50s are normal so we could see some really nice weather days in the weeks ahead.
