The National Weather Service issued a Heat Advisory for Omaha and much of eastern Nebraska for Saturday afternoon. Make sure to stay hydrated and take breaks if you are working outside.

After starting out with some clouds Saturday morning, conditions will be mostly sunny and even hotter outside with mid 90s around Omaha. It will feel like 105+ again in the afternoon. While breezy, the wind will not be as gusty as Thursday/Friday.

Temperatures will struggle to cool off again Saturday night, only dipping into the upper 70s by Sunday morning.

Sunday brings a few more clouds, but there will still be plenty of sunshine as we reach the mid 90s with heat indices again near 105 in the afternoon. Later in the day, a few isolated showers and storms may bubble up in the afternoon heat and humidity.

Showers and storms will become more possible on Monday as a cold front begins to inch closer to Omaha. We should stay dry enough to reach the low 90s Monday afternoon before scattered storms arrive heading into Monday night.

By Tuesday, the cold front will start to move through the region, bringing a slight chance of storms. It will be partly cloudy with highs in the upper 80s.

Wednesday and Thursday begins the cool-down, and it should begin to be less humid outside by mid-week, too. Highs will be in the mid 80s through Friday, followed by low 80s heading into next weekend.
