LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - We have not seen a high temperature at or above normal in the Capital City since June 28th. Tomorrow will almost certainly continue that streak at ten days in a row.

David’s Evening Forecast - Pleasant evening, slowly heating up this week
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Partly to mostly sunny skies this afternoon allowed temperatures to warm into the mid-80s around the metro with light winds. A weak cold front pushing through northeast Nebraska has kicked off some scattered thunderstorms, mainly north of Norfolk and Wayne. These storms may slowly drift into the Norfolk, Columbus, West Point, and Wayne areas this evening with some brief downpours and frequent lighting. However, the storms are expected to decrease in intensity as they drift south through 7pm, and will likely fall apart before getting close to the Omaha metro. There is a small chance for a shower or an isolated storm in the metro between 7 and 9pm, but most of the area will stay dry.

Opponents have gone before regulatory authorities in several states to oppose the lines, and frequently they have succeeded in at least slowing the process. A key decision is expected soon in Iowa. Several companies have proposed pipelines but some dropped their plans in the face of opposition and delay.
