It has already been a wet spring, and the remainder of the spring could still be wet.

That's according to Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln, who indicates the remainder of the spring will be warm. That's as we turn the calendar to May.

According to Shimon, temperatures from the beginning to the end of May are some of the most substantial increases we see for the spring.

After some major storms on Friday night, Shimon is reminding us to be not only weather alert but also to keep a persistent eye on the sky when there is a threat of severe weather.

Shimon reminds we remain in a pattern of transition where there are competing weather patterns over the Midwest that can create severe and extreme weather changes, like what we saw Friday night.
