Local4’s Four Things You Need to Know for November 10, 2026

HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - Here are the four stories you need to know for November 10, 2026.

Diesel drives inflation higher

October inflation came in higher than expected, above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.4% from September, about 0.1 percentage point more than economists expected. Diesel prices, which remain high because of the Iran conflict, drove much of the increase.

An Associated Press survey of 100,000 voters found about two-thirds blamed President Donald Trump’s policies for higher costs. About 9 in 10 called the cost of living a crucial or major factor in their vote. Markets dropped after the report.

Pursuit ends in head-on crash

The Iowa State Patrol is investigating a deadly head-on crash Friday that killed Garrett Sager, 36, of Grand Island, and a 16-year-old from Cedar Rapids. Sager began fleeing law enforcement around 3 p.m., leading to a chase across four counties. The patrol said he fired at law enforcement and struck an occupied police cruiser during the pursuit.

Officers made several unsuccessful attempts to stop his vehicle. A final attempt, a PIT maneuver, caused Sager to lose control and collide head-on with another vehicle. Both drivers died at the scene.

House heads toward Hegseth vote

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the House floor Monday. The measure accuses Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973 by engaging in hostilities for more than 90 days without congressional authorization. The House would need to approve it by simple majority by Wednesday, and removal would require a two-thirds Senate vote.

Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said he is “not very sympathetic to those articles,” but his biggest concerns about Hegseth are not in them. He cited the firing of 80 generals and admirals and the withholding of Ukraine money all year. Asked by CNN’s Manu Raju whether Hegseth should resign, Bacon said, “Yes, I would say that. I don’t think he was the right choice to begin with.” Hegseth called the articles “a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment.” In central Nebraska, gas is down seven cents in Hall County to $4.14, down seven cents in Adams County to $4.22, down three cents in Buffalo County to $4.24 and down four cents in Lincoln County to $4.16.

Your forecast

We’ll start off the week nice and warm, with temperatures saying just in the mid-60s on Tuesday. We’ll see temperatures start to drop, with highs in the 50s for midweek, before continuing to fall into the 40s on Friday and Saturday. Wednesday and Saturday will be breezy, with a few clouds across the region each day.

There is a small chance for rain on Sunday and clouds, but these could be isolated. Next week we’ll start to see temperatures jump back up before chances of rain, and even snow, hit later on next week.
