What to pack for Nebraska in the spring

In the spring in Nebraska, you should pack layers as the weather can be unpredictable.

Bring a mix of short-sleeve shirts, long-sleeve shirts, and lightweight sweaters to easily adjust to changing temperatures. Jeans or khaki pants are versatile options that can be worn during the day and night.

A waterproof jacket or windbreaker is essential for potential rain showers. Don't forget to pack comfortable closed-toe shoes for walking and exploring the outdoors.

Additionally, bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun during the bright spring days.

In spring, Nebraska experiences a transitional climate characterized by milder temperatures and increasing amounts of precipitation.

The state's significant temperature fluctuations continue during this season, with cold spells and snow cover possible early in spring, giving way to warmer weather and an eventual bloom of trees and flowers.

Despite having an overall drier climate, spring marks the beginning of Nebraska's storm season, with the possibility of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes as warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico clashes with cooler air masses moving down from Canada.
