Thanks to a warm week last week, April is trending to be above normal for temperatures. 

John Bumgardner with the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates the start of April has been dry and while there are no areas of concern on the drought monitor, soil moisture levels are a bit of a concern.

Thanks to warm weather last week, we're trending above normal for temperatures but the next few weeks are looking to be below normal for temperatures and Bumgardner anticipates that leveling off the monthly temperature.

Looking ahead, May could very well be wet with temperatures right about normal. We'll hear more from Bumgardner on the outlook for May in the days ahead on Regional Radio.
