As we get into the final few weeks of August, trends are showing a warm and dry finish.

Mike Albano at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates the outlooks are indicating a warm and dry finish to August.

According to Albano, the outlook for September is not offering a lot, and some of that has to do with the coming tropical storm season.

Tropical storm season actually begins on June 1, but Albano notes the season kicks into high gear at the end of August and into September.

Albano also notes that as we get through August and September, we lose, on average, about five minutes of daylight a day.
