This spring has had its ups and downs when it comes to weather, but it looks like relief is on its way. 

Ed Shimon with the National Weather Service in Lincoln explains that the highs through May are trending above average. Paired with equal chances of above or below average precipitation, it should shape up to be good weather for planters and producers. 

As the months pass, we should be getting more and more daylight hours. Shimon indicates that we gain over an hour of sunlight through the course of May. 

Shimon states that this summer will hold more of the same when it comes to above-average temperatures, however, precipitation is looking slightly below normal.
