Forecast

It's hot and humid this afternoon as temperatures rose into the upper 80s, and heat indices into the 90s.

There is a small chance that a few storms may reach eastern Nebraska late Monday evening after sunset. These storms will possibly clip parts of southeast Nebraska and northern Kansas early Tuesday morning. The question remains as to how far north and east any storm may get.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be hot days as temps reach the low to mid 90s. Due to the humidity, peak heat indices will reach 100-105 in the afternoon.

A few Tuesday evening storms are possible, but as of now, most of us look to stay dry.

Eventually, a Wednesday evening cold front will bring heat relief and may also bring a few thunderstorms. The best locations to see this rain will be mainly in western Iowa. A few of these storms may become severe, too.

Some rain will likely linger around for Thursday morning, but the main thing is that the milder weather is back with highs in the low to mid-80s, and some returning sunshine by the afternoon.

By Friday, it's looking warm again for the opening day of the College World Series, but the humidity should be down a bit during the day. Highs will be in the upper 80s with mostly sunny skies.

This weekend will be warm and partly cloudy, and there is a chance for storms on both Saturday and Sunday.
