Elkhorn Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Eastern Nebraska an unpredictable four-season climate. Since it lies near the middle of the continent, it experiences the extremes of temperature characteristic of a continental climate. Usually, this type of climate is described as hot summers and cold winters. However, in central Nebraska, it is common to experience spells that are warmer or colder, wetter or drier than expected. Winters can be extremely frigid when cold air masses move through the area and lower temperatures rapidly. It's not unusual to see a decline of fifty degrees in a twelve-hour period in late winter when warming of the land is interrupted by airflow from the frigid land to the north. A severe blizzard in central Nebraska will occur about once every thirty years.
