I am 5'0 and weigh 98 pounds. How much weight can I expect to lose before the nice weather starts hitting...aka I want to look good in skirts, shorts, etc... (I live in Nebraska). I would like to get down to 88-90 but how long would that take?

you are 98 lbs... you need to stay off the scale...
Only people who are overweight really need to concentrate on losing weight. You should concentrate on clothes sizes and feeling better as your goals for working out. If you lose weight in the process, thats great. Because you aren't overweight it will be more difficult to reach any weight loss goal.
How you tell if you are overweight
As we are all different shapes and sizes, there is not one recommended weight for your height. Instead there is a range of weights that are healthy for your height. One way to check your weight is to calculate your Body Mass Index or BMI.
Your BMI is a ratio or comparison of your height and weight expressed in a number. To find out your BMI you need to divide your weight (measured in kg) by your height (measured in m) squared. If you do not know your measurements in the metric system you can find any number of BMI calculators online that will do the conversion for you into empirical measures. One such calculator is at the website listed below.
The accepted definitions of weight categories by BMI are:
Underweight - BMI less than 18.5
Healthy weight - BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
Overweight - BMI equal to or greater than 25 and up to 29.9
Obese - BMI equal to or greater than 30
