An above-normal temperature trend is expected to last into mid-to-late February.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates the bitter cold of late last week has moved out and temperatures will be very mild for this time of the year for a couple of weeks, at least.

With the above-normal temperature signal in February is an above-normal precipitation signal.

Getting later into February, temperatures moderate on the outlooks and precipitation remains above normal. If we don't see wintry weather in February, Shimon notes it may be coming in March.
