Finally some #drought relief for #Nebraska. Categorical improvements for much of state thanks to several inches of rain/melted snow over past week. Helpful to make a dent in dry soil profiles, give fire managers a break. Short-term outlook hopefully more of the same wet pattern.

Climate Change and #Nebraska. Cathy sits down with our State Climatologist (@mshulski3) to talk through the nuances of our changing climate. Spend a half hour to learn more about this issue that impacts us all. @UNLSNR @UNL_IANR @UNLincoln #ActOnClimate https://t.co/JwqikZFhYr

The latest #USDM shows expansion of severe #drought (D2) and introduction of extreme drought (D3) in #Nebraska. Short-term dryness for much of the east and long-term dryness also impacting portions of state. Winter 4th driest on record. Fire remains big concern. #newx

38% of #Nebraska in severe #drought. Product of both long, short-term deficits. Dry #winter in central, east; 12+mo dryness for areas around state. High fire danger, low stock ponds, streams, low soil moisture reserves in places. Precip in forecast, but we need a pattern change.

Lack of snow and dryness continue winter trend | Nebraska State Climate Office | University of Nebraska–Lincoln https://t.co/AOszTV4XqC Check out our January #weather and #climate summary here. #newx #Nebraska #drought #winter #dry

[Nebraska State Climate Office @NebraskaClimate]

Be #weatherwise today. Red flag warning in place impacting #Nebraska. Widespread dry conditions, lack of snow cover, strong northwesterly winds and low humidity are ingredients for high fire danger. Winds will kick up by mid-day. Counties in pink currently in red flag warning.

The latest US Drought Monitor has 38% of #Nebraska in moderate or worse conditions. 54% abnormally dry. We've seen worsening for central, east past 4 weeks, some improvement in Panhandle. Winter is our dry time of year and big changes aren't expected. Come on spring rains. #newx

Warmest December on record and a derecho event spawning 30 tornados highlight Nebraska's end to 2021. Read more in our monthly #weather and #climate summary here: https://t.co/Sbt0Me8Hie

This makes station number 63 in our network that has been serving #Nebraska since 1981. We couldn’t do it without our dedicated sponsors. #grateful #newx https://t.co/OkKtxwSC8o

[Nebraska Mesonet @NebraskaMesonet]

Who is that new dot on the #NebraskaMesonet map you say? Why, it is Wilber 1W, our newest station. A full tower thanks to the generous support of @croptechcafe of @UNLExtension at @UNLincoln. And it looks quite nice with the backdrop of a mackerel winter sky. #newx @NWSOmaha

It isn't often that this wind gust map is full of such high numbers border to border. #storm #newx #Nebraska

[Nebraska Mesonet @NebraskaMesonet]

Lots to review in yesterday's wild weather day across #Nebraska. Here is a look at high wind gusts, observations taken at 3m height. Our Cook station (only 1 year old, sponsored by Nemaha @NebraskaNRDs) gets the high at 69 mph. 63 near Rulo and Mead. 61 at Naper, Long Pine. #newx

[Nebraska State Climate Office @NebraskaClimate]

A wild #weather day across the Central U.S. yesterday and a busy one for @nws offices and tv meteorologists. A little bit of nearly every weather hazard. Here's a recap of #storm reports and impacts around #Nebraska. https://t.co/bybKAoSMqm

5th warmest and 24th driest November for #Nebraska this year. It continues a warming/drying trend we've seen in recent decades. 32% of state is moderate #drought or worse, a few thousand acres burn in Panhandle. #Warm signal continues in December. #newx https://t.co/m4TURynUdu

With all the auroral sightings this weekend, here’s a post from our State Climatologist. If you are a @NeblandMagazine reader, look back at the June 2021 issue on viewing Nature’s Light Show. #aurora
