The dangerous heat and humidity continue the next two days. If you have to be outside, take it easy and stay hydrated. Continue to check on your older neighbors, friends, and family members to make sure they are staying cool and safe. Remember, heat is normally the number one weather-related killer in the country each year.
The high humidity keeps us warm overnight, only cooling into the mid 70s for Tuesday morning.
Tuesday will be the last hot and humid day of this stretch of heat. We'll start out the day with lots of sunshine, followed with a few extra clouds in the afternoon. Most of eastern Nebraska will be in the low to mid 90s, and western Iowa will see more upper 80s to low 90s. A cold front will start to move into northeast Nebraska in the afternoon, which should keep neighborhoods there in the 80s.
As the cold front pushes southeast, a few spotty storms will start to form along it Tuesday evening. The storms will come with a small severe weather threat with the main concern being damaging wind, along with the heavy rain and lightning. Storms will remain likely overnight and into Wednesday morning.
Some of the rain could continue into the afternoon, helping to keep us mostly cloudy and cooler. Highs will be in the upper 70s Wednesday.
The humidity finally starts to fall Thursday, but it will still be muggy. It stays cooler with upper 70s and mostly cloudy skies.
Friday will also be mostly cloudy with upper 70s.
The upper 70s continue Saturday with a little more sunshine.
The second half of the weekend will be a touch warmer with low 80s and a mix of sun and clouds, and maybe a chance for rain on Sunday.
