A pedestrian uses their umbrella to shield themselves from the rain as they walk through downtown Lincoln on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026. Cold and cloudy days are on tap for the weekend as a storm system moves through the state over the next couple of days. By Wednesday, most of the storms are expected to clear up, leaving a chill in the air as temperatures barely break into the upper 50s.
