Despite a dreary start to the month, May weather has overall turned out to be excellent.

Nicole Albano from the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates so far this month, the weather has been near normal for both precipitation and temperatures.

Over the next few weeks, Albano says the Climate Prediction Center shows a below-normal temperature trend as we lead up to the Memorial Day weekend.

Albano also points out as we continue through May, we'll see more and more daylight as we approach the summer equinox in June.
