National Weather Service observations at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport at 7:50 a.m. CT Tuesday showed 48°F under clear skies with a light south-southeast breeze (about 3 mph) and humidity near 87% — a cool, dewy start.
The NWS forecast (issued about 6:36 a.m. CT) calls for a sunny Tuesday with a high near 78°F and a south wind of 6–10 mph, then a mostly clear night around 55°F. Wednesday looks sunny near 84°F with a west wind, Thursday sunny near 77°F (Thursday night ~49°), and Friday sunny near 78°F. WAND’s forecast team expects high pressure to keep skies clear through Friday, then a warm, gusty Saturday in the mid-80s and possible rain Sunday if a tropical system from the Gulf pushes north — the track is still uncertain.
