This heat wave is a dangerous one. If you can, limit time outdoors and remember to stay hydrated. If you have to be outside for an extended period, try to take plenty of breaks in the shade and A/C.
Thursday looks to be the last day of excessive and dangerous heat. Highs will reach 100 degrees under mostly sunny skies. While humidity is trending lower, the heat index will reach 105-110.
Finally, some relief from the extreme heat is in sight! A weak cold front moves through in the overnight hours of Thursday night into Friday morning. However, it's not strong enough to drop us back to average, but it does keep our highs in the low 90s. There's a small chance for spot showers throughout the day.
Remnants of tropical storm Harold, which made landfall in south Texas earlier this week, will bring tropical moisture into southern Nebraska on Saturday morning, so rain may be possible. Temps will be cooler Saturday with highs in the mid 80s.
The rest of the week will trend drier and mostly sunny with highs on Sunday in the lower 80s.
