Nebraska is not one climate: Omaha banks 132 workable concrete pouring days a year while Lincoln gets 128 — a spread the table below itemizes month by month. Season boundaries mark the first and last month averaging 8+ workable days against the label rules (40–90°F, nights 40°F+).
Statewide, September is the strongest month — it tops or ties the table in most listed cities. The live strips on each city page decide the week; this table decides the month. Scoring rules: methodology; the national playbook: the concrete pouring guide.
The concrete pouring circuit continues: Montana is the previous state on the loop, Nevada the next.

The rules behind these numbers
| Check | Threshold | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Air temperature | 40–90°F — ideal 50–85°F | DIY pours work from 40–90°F; 50–85°F is the sweet spot. |
| Overnight low | ≥40°F during the first 48 h | A low under 40°F inside the first 48 hours puts you in cold-weather concreting — not a DIY window. |
| Dry before | no soaking (≥1.0") in the prior 24 h | Rain before the pour only matters if the ground is soaked or standing in water. |
| Dry after | <0.1" rain for 6 h after (12 h light rain after finishing still risks surface marks) | A downpour in the first 6 hours can wash the surface; after final set, rain actually helps curing. |
| Wind | ≤20 mph (rapid surface drying up to 28 mph) | Hot wind pulls bleed water out faster than the slab can handle. |
Always follow your product label — formulas vary. The table above is the typical range across major manufacturers, not a promise about your can.
